I’m lucky enough to be included in the Disjecta sponsored Portland 2010 - A Biennial of Contemporary Art.  Curator Cris Moss hand picked around 19 of us for a series of solo shows around the city.  My “solo show” will happen on March 20th in a huge abandoned warehouse space transformed to show the work of eight of us lucky winners. I’ll be showing 5 giant, never before seen new prints from this year in the Bering Sea. Come say hello on opening night!

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.

208 pages, Hardcover, 8” x 10” (203 x 254 mm)
200 illustrations, English ISBN: 978-1-58423-362-6

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.

So I’ve started a group on flickr to track down the world’s most interesting pictures of people holding fish.  It’s a momentous moment in a person’s life… holding up that lovely bloody creature that you’ve slaughtered with your bare hands.  A trophy and a memory that you will never forget.  A moment of triumph captured forever in a photograph.  Please join the group and submit some pictures.  Snapshots, old photos from your family album, etc. It’s open to all.

In about a years time I will be compiling all the best images and including them in a yet to be announced project.  On the last page of the set you can find some childhood picks of me and my father back in the day, Southern Cal.  The one above is circa 1984 in Oceanside, California holding the smallest mako shark I’ve ever seen.

I was recently profiled in Art Ltd. magazine by Portland art critic Richard Speer.  It’s a pretty good summary of what I’m up to these days. Nice of Richard to come for a face to face interview.  Very often interviews these days take place via email questions and it’s too easy to make yourself sound cooler then you really are. That said, I guess I did mention 100 foot waves outloud… but that was my cap i tan’s story telephoned through me.  Everyone adds an extra 10 feet to the wave size, then passes it on.

Out now is PDN’s 30: Our Choice of New and Emerging Photographers to Watch. They’ve put a lovely online gallery up for all to see.  I’m especially liking Alejandro Chaskeiberg. Lucas Foglia is another standout whos work I’ve seen around lately. I was at the Met last week and saw an impressive piece by Julian Faulhaber who is also a pdn 30 guy.   And check out Kathryn Parker Almanas.  Those are my top four out of 30 but the selection overall is impressive and I’m really proud to have made the cut.

Humble Arts Foundation has been doing some great things these days…. Quite active they are in helping emerging photographers breakthrough to a larger audience.  They’ve come a long way since I had my solo-show on their website and last humble released a limited edition print of mine and many others which managed to sell out through the site… so they seem to be finding ways to survive and help new artist folks at the same time.  Just out via Humble is a book called The Collectors Guide to Emerging Art Photography.  I haven’t seen it yet in person, but I think the concept is a good one.  There are 163 photographers included and I believe that I’ve got a one pager inside.  Get ‘em while they’re hot!

I got a phone call from The Paris Review awhile back and they asked to publish some photos.  Next thing I know, my pic is on the cover along with a nicely printed 17 pages of pictures from the Fish-Work series.  Thanks Paris Review folks!!

I was lucky enough to be included in two great photographer/art compilation books this year.  Apenest Volume 2 was compiled by Cody Hoyt and Brian Willmont and packed with goodness from these lovely artists:

John Copeland, Denise Kupferschmidt, Justin B Williams, Sophia Dixon, Bill Dunlap, Corey Arnold, Andrew Schoultz, Joseph Hart, Cody Hoyt, Paul Wackers, Grimaldi Baez, Brian Willmont, Corey Corcoran, Fighting, Mark Chariker, Eddie Martinez, Jeremy + Claire Weiss, Anthony Sobiech, Elton Lovelace, Zac Scheinbaum, Deep Slumber Lake, Whitney Claflin, Eric Saline, Meghan Tomeo, Chris Wawrinofsky, Travis Neel, Rebecca Gordon, Suzy Coady, and Alex Lukas.

Various Photographs is the catalog for the exhibition of the same name, curated by Tim Barber for the 2008 New York Photo Festival.  You can find at least 3 of my pictures in there.  Tim’s kicking ass lately with the announcement of his own publishing company, T.V. Books.  He runs the notorious website Tiny Vices and has a new books series being released by Aperture.

Rolling Stone Magazine Italy just did a 4 page feature and interview about my life as a fisherman / photographer. Weird! It’s the february issue and you have to speak Italian to understand. Nice people over there.

Todd Stanley and his filmer buddy’s are nominated for an Emmy with Deadliest Catch. They sent me over this picture of my photograph in a billboard in downtown Hollywood.

Hi, this dude named Porous Walker drew this picture of me… It looks more like Brian though. I wish my teeth could be this awesome. Anyway, his work is great. Check out Owltooth.com. And keep your eyes out for stories in Fecal Face, National Fisherman, Carl’s Cars and Giant Robot Magazine over the next couple months.

Corey is awarded two grants to photograph the fishing industry in Norway through the American-Scandinavian Foundation! The Alice and Corrin Strong Fund, and the Crown Princess Martha Friendship Fund.
