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!

I didn’t know Phil Harris well, but from the few meetings we had in Dutch Harbor, I found him to be a really nice guy…  especially when I wasn’t pointing my camera in his face.  We will all miss his presence in Dutch. The world knows him as the skipper of the Cornelia Marie from Discovery’s Deadliest Catch but now perhaps, he is more famous then ever before. To the friends and family of Phil, I’d like to offer my condolences.

It’s been a rough season in Dutch Harbor with at least five major traumas occurring in the Bering Sea this year. Many are healing and some will never be the same. This will certainly be an Opi season to forget.

Andy Adams has a pretty nice photography site called Flak Photo which is a good source for inspiration and a glance at the goings on in the artsy photo world.  One of my Arcticness pics was recently featured on the site.  You can have a look here: Click

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.

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.

NEW YORK, September 24th, 2009—Sara Tecchia Roma New York is excited to kick off the fall season with Fall Forward, a group show featuring painting, photography, and sculpture by the gallery’s artists.  The exhibit opens September 24th and will run through November 7th.  A reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, September 24th from 6 – 8 pm.

During these past summer months, our artists have been hard at work taking part in or preparing for various shows and projects in both the US and Europe. Here’s a sneak preview with more to come. Christa Parravani is currently part of A River Runs Through Me a group show featuring the photography of Alec Soth, Barbara Bosworth and Elijah Gowin curated by Ariel Shanberg, at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, MA. On September 26 photographer Corey Arnold will be featured in, NOW: Art of the 21st Century, at the Philips de Pury and Co., Group Auction in London, England.  Photographer Sebastian Denz’s awaited monograph Skateboarding.3 published by Prestel Verlag will be released in Europe on September 14th and in the US in October (date TBA). Mixed media artist, Ludovica Gioscia has two upcoming solo exhibitions: Mikado at the Siobhan Davies Dance Studios in London, England, and Beheaded Monarchs at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show opens on Ocotber 17th. Painter Duston Spear is part of Twenty Year Invitational and Benefit at The Contemporary Art Gallery at Scared Heart University New Fairfield, CT.

As we near the season of harvest, we have asked our artists to gather in New York and indulge us with a preview of the fruits of their labor. Fall Forward offers the opportunity to come together at the gallery and participate in a discourse on the artists’ individual progress as well as celebrate the arrival of a new art season.

Sara Tecchia Roma New York is located at 529 West 20th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenue. The gallery is on the 2nd floor. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am - 6pm.  For more information or visuals, please contact the gallery at 212-741-2900, or info@saratecchia.com.

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.

Last summer I returned to Bristol Bay, Alaska on assignment for Outside Magazine.  This is the place that I landed my first commercial fishing job in 1995. It’s a pristine wilderness area, home to caribou and giant brown bears and one of the last great wild salmon producing river systems in North America that hasn’t been exploited by human tinkering… until now.  One of the world’s largest deposits of Copper and Gold has been discovered in the headwaters of the Nushagak and Kvichak rivers.  Foreign mining companies have converged on the site and hope to dig one of the largest open pit mines in the world, worth hundreds of billions of dollars.  Tailings from the mine could eventually seep their way into the watershed and destroy the salmon habitat forever.  Pick up Outside Magazine this month and check out the hard hitting article written by my pal Tim Sohn.

This summer, I’ll be operating my own fishing vessel in Bristol Bay and will continue my photo project on the region.  More picks and a shiny new portfolio section to come.  Below are some spreads from the Outside article.  They also put up a small web gallery of my picks online.  Thanks to all the fisherman that accommodated me for my one month journey around the bay last year!

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!!

There is a nice photography issue of Juxtapoz out now. Friends Amy Stein, Alex Prager, and myself among others were the lucky ones included.

The nice people at NPR’s Bryant Park Show interviewed me in New York City, cut it up and slapped together a slideshow about crab photography.  You can find it here

I haven’t seen it in person yet but Seattle’s best free weekly, the Stranger put threw my horse and kitty picture on the Cover! The same picture also made the cover of the January/February issue of Adbusters. Although it’s only 2 inches in size, it is proudly displayed next to a portrait of the soon to be late George W. Bush.

A big stack of magazines were in my mailbox upon arrival back in Portland. China’s Photographer’s Companion Magazine August, Monster Children issue #16 (australia) with a nice cover by Mike Giant and RE:UP the photography issue all had interviews and/or photo spreads of my fishin pictures. I’m especially honored to have my photos in the same mag with Glen E. Friedman… who is a long time hero.

This was my second inclusion in juxtapoz this year. Man, I feel lucky. What a great cover by Shepard Farey.

Cover Photo and cover story written by the good folks here at coreyfishes.com for the October issue of National Fisherman!

Lots of stuff is happenin’ right now. I have an 8 page photo spread in this months issue of RE:UP magazine as well as a very flattering review of my May solo exhibition at Richard Heller Gallery in Artweek Magazine. Thanks! I’m also featured in the August issue of Juxtapoz Magazine on the third to last page. Oh, yes and one on the cover of the September issue of Fisherman’s News. Oh, and just got a copy of China’s amazingly huge and surprisingly lovely Vision Magazine. The July issue featured a few pages of my fishin’ pictures.

Giant Robot Magazine issue 43 is out now. Check out the beautiful cover art by my Arctic accomplice Rachell Sumpter… yeah, that’s me with the fish! An interview with Rachell about our trip accompanied with my photos can be spotted inside.

I just received some copies of “Backyard Shakedown”. It’s a new photography book featuring 20 up and comers into the photo world. There is some nice work in there by some great ghetto documentary photographers. I’ve got a two pager in there too. It’s put out by Upper Playground and looks like this.

FHM (UK) just published a two page interview with me about life as a crab fisherman. Man, what a trashy magazine. In other news I’ll be heading back to Alaska (Ketchikan) next week on assignment with the German Fashion Magazine Neon. Also look out for upcoming articles/photos in Artweek, Juxtapoz, Monster children (AU), RE:UP, and several Chinese publications. Oh, and check out this great photographer’s work: Amy Stein. I haven’t seen anything this great in awhile.

Show is this Saturday. Hope to see you there! Here is the Press Release and map.

Bob Kronbauer of Crown Farmer and Little Giants has started his own online magazine called Mumble. He did a little feature interview with me for the 1st issue. Looks like the mag is worthy of a bookmark. Also below is the invite for the incredible NYC line-up at Higher Pictures opening Saturday.

We’re still in Alaska and have just completed our third tour for Opilio Crab aboard the Rollo. Tonight we leave for the Pribilof Islands to hunt the illusive Bairdi Crab. There is no money to be made off this lousy crab and we are in for possibly a “hell on earth” experience. At least my kitty is on board to contort and hang upside-down for entertainment. This month Blackpool Magazine out of Paris has printed a large portfolio of my images. I haven’t seen it yet, but appears to be a great mag which, like Fecal Face, mixes art with a touch of skateboard culture.

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.

Blizzard and Storm Warning today, but tomorrow we ship out in search of Opilio Crab near the Pribilof Islands. By the way, the Irish Skipper Magazine has republished my October cover story for National Fisherman on the web. Now you can read it here. In other News, I just finished shooting the very entertaining crew of the Time Bandit for the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch.

Happy Christmas. I now have commercial representation by a lovely human named Maren Levinson at Redeye Represents. Contact her at maren@redeyreps.com or 1.323.953.9002. Also, check out some pictures from the Tiny Vices Tokyo Show my stuff is in right now.

A new porfolio section will be added in the future on my reindeer slaughter trip with the Samis in Northern Norway. Meanwhile I have two new magazine covers in print. Also three magazines have interviews and photo(s) with me in print this month: Check out Popular Photography, Outside Magazine, and if in the Netherlands, Dutch Audi Magazine. Below is the cover of Fett, a Norwegian feminist magazine. They didn’t require me to be a feminist to do the cover… whew.

I’m leaving for Cape Town, South Africa next Thursday so if you are reading this from Cape Town, I could be your new friend. If anyone has connections with some fishermen out there send me an email… I’d appreciate it! Congrats to the Deadliest Catch Filmers… they’re nominated for a few Emmy awards.
