A picture I took long ago of my beautiful niece holding a giant potato can be found just under Matt Damon’s bum on the cover of Esquire (October 2009).

Certainly a proud moment for Matt Damon to be in close proximity to my exceptionally cute niece.

I’ve been chosen to be in a slide show with 30 other photographers that will accompany the Pictures of the Year International (POYi) exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles.  Looks like I’ll be in Canada, but sounds like a good time if you are in the neighborhood. Here is the low down:

Once a year, the Juxtapoz Magazine photo issue is released to eagerly awaiting fans of bleeding-edge photography. For the first time, Juxtapoz Photography pulls together in one volume the featured artists who since 1994 have been redefining a new movement of art and culture through provocative lenswork, groundbreaking camera angles, intense and often irreverent subject matter, moody and vibrant colors, and intimate portraiture. Juxtapoz Photo showcases a diverse group of current photographers, both established and up and coming, with a mix of personal and documentary images. The photos are eclectic in style and subject — from portraits of celebrities and anonymous people, to snapshots from travels abroad and intimate moments captured on film — but all photos are united by the Juxtapoz stamp of intriguing freshness and outsider perspectives.

Contributors include Corey Arnold, Estevan Oriol, Alex Prager, Angela Boatwright, Dylan Maddux, Sam Bassett, Ye Rin Mok, Jesse Pollock, Heather Culp, Andy Mueller and many more.

I spent June and July this summer commercial fishing for salmon in Bristol Bay and following up with pictures on last years Outside magazine story about the proposed Pebble mine.  It’s been very busy over here with magazine assignments, my salmon business and upcoming group exhibitions so I’ve only just begun to sort through the summers huge arsenal of new pictures!  As soon as I’m home for a solid week or two, I’ll be adding a ton of new images to the site. Hopefully, I’m not crying wolf again this time.

Thanks to Humble Arts Foundation for landing me in this exhibition in London.  I’m  happy to share it with two of my favorite photographers, Celine Clanet and Amy Stein.
