A company called Uncommon is making a line of artist Iphone cases.  Most of the art comes from the Fecal Face / Juxtapoz taste.  Pretty amazing new technology and well designed site.  You can choose from 10 of my most popular images and layout the photos on the case however you’d like.

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.

Red Gold was created last year by a small crew of independent filmmakers: Travis Rummel, Ben Knight, and Lauren Oakes.  It is one of the most powerful environmental documentaries I’ve seen.  The trailer is a great introduction to Bristol Bay salmon fishing and the battle with Pebble Mine.

 Sara and I took some pictures of the neighbors chickens.

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!!

It’s been so long since I’ve regularly kept up with this blog… that it’s hard to begin again. A lot has happened since the new year and I’ve probably got about 10 posts worth of recapping to do before I get to current events… So, let’s just make this easy and I’ll just post out of order for the next year or so. Maybe I’ll suddenly remember in October something that happened in Feb, and I’ll post a picture with words… and you’ll wonder why there is snow in the background… etc. but you’ll never email me about it because it’s probably of no urgency to anyone to bring that to anyones attention… yeah.

Well since I’m a photographer, it just occurred to me that I should insert photos in my posts or no one would ever care to read the blog because there’s nothing to gain from reading yet another diary from someone you don’t know.

Ok, Let’s start with Switzerland. I went to Switzerland in March for a week. It was fully funded by a wonderful travel magazine which of whom I will mention when the story is actually published.

People in Switzerland as it turns out, are usually German tourists. (see above)

I met really interesting people and ate a lot of hot cheese, snowboarded everyday, the was force fed very expensive wine by the hosts. People in Arosa, Switzerland are not afraid to rock real big cat fur coats.

I got to hang out with the above man, we dined and laughed, skied together and pretended to understand each other.

He was quite agile.

I don’t normally sneak photos of people in public… and this is no exception. I gave him the old “can I take your picture wink” and he gave me a head nod that I think meant “yes, I’d actually prefer it”.

Switzerland is about teamwork

I tried my hand a bit of action sports photography.  This ain’t half bad I suppose.

This is where the blog starts to get all stock photo-y.  Someone in this building was recieving a massage at the exact moment the photograph was taken.

Has anyone that’s flown to Zurich seen this girl in the terminal train of the airport? I fell in love instantly and thought about her my whole trip. She winked at me on a hundred TV screens, then blew me a kiss. If anyone out there knows her personally, please be in touch.

That’s it for my Switzerland post… next up, Hawaii in April!

I have a new housemate and her cat is the identical cat to mine but a little bigger.

My friend JD Hooge of Portland along with his team at Gridplane have built a new website for me. Thanks, I hope ya’all like it.  This is also the beginning of this blog (everything before this was old news).

Earlier this year, I was hired by Discovery Channel to shoot the Captains of Deadliest Catch.  Right now, you can find four billboards up in NYC and Los Angeles as well as ads in several major publications.  I happened by this 10 story pic just off of Times Square last week!  You can also find the pic on the Deadliest Catch homepage as well as a slide show of images I shot in Dutch Harbor.  

Nice things are happening, but time should please stand still so I can spend a month landscaping my home! Pics from The Richard Heller Gallery show should be on their way soon. I’m in a group show in NYC right now at Sara Tecchia Roma New York. Stop in and say hello if you have a minute.

Some dude named Kele Dobrinski made this wallpaper and sent it to me. Thanks

My sister just sent me this picture of us back in the olden days. It’s nice to be sent stuff.

Greetings from Lofoten. This is the worlds most beautiful place… without a doubt. Cod action is hot out at Røst these days. The cod are slow to move into the fjords of Lofoten this year. I’ve been at sea twice with nice folk in Ure and Ballstad. Fishermen here are very welcoming… Meanwhile I met up with Norway’s largest trawler (see below) for a job for Aker Seafoods. If you are a San Franciscan, check out the Beholder Art show at 111 Minna street gallery which is in late April I think. I’m not sure about the dates at the moment because I won’t be there! The Beholder is an online gallery that represents some of my work. Real nice people there. I am also now the official field photographer for The Fishermen’s News which is a commercial fishing magazine based out of Seattle. I even have my own business card… Also check out the Discovery website for some interesting new manipulations of my photographs on the Deadliest Catch section. The new coreyfishes website is delayed until April sometime. Have a nice day.
