Snoecks and Kitty and Horse Fisherman covers

When Geert Stadeus from Belgium based Snoecks magazine contacted me about showcasing my work, I had no idea what to expect nor that my sexy little cat “Kitty” would be featured on the cover. I just got my copy in the mail and pretty excited about the good company of some of my favorite photographers including Alec Soth, Alex Prager, Carl de Keyzer, Simen Johan, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Charles Freger, and Simon Norfolk.  Snoecks is an annual magazine – more book-like in scope – It’s been around since 1925, and has apparently achieved mainstream appeal in Belgium, the Netherlands and beyond?   My cover was part of a limited addition as the book usually features an incredibly cheesy 80’s style glamour fashion photo on the cover… quite in contrast to the selection of serious art photography portfolios found inside. A friend of mine with Dutch roots told me that her family has collected Snoecks since the dawn of time, and that her American friends when visiting would head strait to their Snoecks stash to catch a glimpse of some fine  euro-erotic photography that parents in the U.S. wouldn’t normally stock on their shelves.

 

Cover of Snoecks Magazine 2012

It’s been a big few years for my Kitty and Horse Fisherman photo.   Despite being ripped off all over the web, it’s shown up on the cover of many publications far and wide.  Here is a short list of covers that Kitty has shown up on around the world.

Artension - French Magazine - 2009

I suppose I should be flattered when a French Art magazine “Artension” puts a web compressed jpeg of the image on the cover of their mag without even asking me permission, or asking for a high res image.  One of my french spies spotted the mag on a newstand so I called them and they said:  “We sent you an email and you didn’t respond so we decided to print it anyway”.

Kitty and Horse Fisherman found on Poles in auckland, New Zealand

This is the oddest of all: a great photographer named Harvey Benge sent me an email back in ’09 saying that he’d come across this flyer on a pole in Auckland, New Zealand.

Holly Andres at Jackson

Holly recently created a curious new installation with fresh digs from the archive and new old frames to fill the wall at one of my favorite galleries in the Greater South, Jackson Fine Art, Atlanta.   It is great to see more well deserved traffic to this series and a lot of care by the gallery to craft the experience of Sparrow Lane.  Holly Andres is my buddy and an inspiring force in my life and this series deserves a flight to Atlanta to see the prints in person.  Thanks Hol.

Semi-Permanent Conference Sydney 2011 compilation

One of the great honors of my life was being invited to speak in front of over 2000 people at the Semi-Permanent Creative Conference in Sydney, Australia back in May of 2011.  I arrived not knowing much about any of the other speakers, but left truly inspired, with talented and lovely new friends.  Thanks again to Andrew Johnston and Murray Bell for the invite and helping me overcome a pretty severe life long fear of public speaking.   I just discovered this wonderful and nostalgic video compililation created from the conference.

Fishing With My Dad Exhibition in Portland

The photographs from my new book, Fishing With My Dad 1978-1995, published by Nazraeli Press along with never before seen images from the archive of my father, Chris Arnold, will be on display at the beautiful Ampersand Gallery and Fine Books in Portland, Oregon.  The show opens on October 15, 6-10pm, and runs through November 27.  My Dad and I will be present to answer questions about my choice of fashion in the 80’s.  Hope to see you there! Below is the press release

For Immediate Release:

Fishing with My Dad 1978 – 1995
An exhibition of photographs by Chris and Corey Arnold

October 15 to November 27, 2011
Artist reception on Saturday, October 15 from 6 to 10PM

Ampersand is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs curated by Portland photographer, Corey Arnold. The show is a collaboration of sorts between Corey & his father, Chris Arnold, who made these photographs throughout his son’s childhood as he grew up an avid sport fisherman in Southern California. The photographs speak to the fact that fishing & story telling go hand  in hand & that cameras & their snapshots have historically served to verify the truth of often questionable narratives. Recently published by Nazraeli Press in One Picture Book #69, the photographs also record the trajectory of a life in which fishing & photography have never been far apart. Indeed, Arnold is best known for his ongoing photographic project entitled Fish-Work, which chronicles commercial fishing throughout the world. He brings to this body of work not only his own firsthand experience as an Alaskan commercial fisherman; but a life-long passion for fishing, the roots of which we see here in snapshots that were made while fishing with his dad.

Corey Arnold’s photographs have been exhibited worldwide. He is represented by Charles A. Hartman Fine Art in Portland & Richard Heller Gallery in Santa Monica.  His first book, Fish-Work: The Bering Sea (2010), was named one of the best photo books of the year by PDN & American Photo magazines.  He has been published in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Esquire, Whitewall, Outside, Juxtapoz, Art Ltd & Italian Rolling Stone; was chosen for the 2010 Portland Biennial & named one of PDN’s 30 top emerging photographers in 2009.

We are also pleased to announce that the second printing of Arnold’s widely acclaimed book, Fish-Work: The Bering Sea, which was published by Nazraeli Press, is now available to purchase at Ampersand. We’ll have several copies available the night of the opening & Arnold will be on hand to sign them.

Nazraeli Press has just released my second book which is a collaboration with my Father, entitled  Fishing with My Dad 1978-1995. The book is part of Nazraeli’s One Picture Book subscription series which showcases obscure and previously unseen work in a small format.   The book is limited to 500 copies and includes an original print signed by myself and my dad.  Most are already pre-sold but there are a very small amount available for purchase on Nazraeli’s website.   These are photographs my father made throughout my childhood, growing up as a hardcore sportfisherman in Southern California. Here is a little video made by the amazing Holly Andres.  Thanks Holly!

Fish-Work in Pacific Fishing Magazine

While I was salmon fishing in Bristol Bay the last couple months, Pacific Fishing Magazine (A West Coast commercial fishing trade magazine) slapped one of my images of the beautiful engineer of the f/v Rollo, Brian Greer holding some of our giant king crab from a couple seasons back.  Seems that the image matched up perfectly with the tag line:  “Endangered Species: Young Fishermen”  Thanks for being a good sport Brian.  They dropped in a nice double spread review of my book: Fish-Work: The Bering Sea, which had already sold out by the publication date!  More copies arriving in September!

Deadliest Catch Behind the Scenes with Jake and Josh Harris

Back in April, I met up with Jake and Josh Harris, two stars of the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch and shot portraits of the brothers for People Magazine. The article had a look at where they are now, one year after their father, Phil Harris, skipper of the f/v Cornelia Marie‘s tragic death. It’s been 5 years since me the crew of the f/v Rollo were filmed for Deadliest Catch. Back then the show was popular, but now it’s a beast. Things have changed quite a lot in Dutch, and those who have starred on the show since the beginning have become huge celebrities. Who knew?

So, when I met Josh and Jake again after a few years time, I was pleasantly surprised that they were good guys. Genuinely humble and patient in spending a whole day with me in three locations around the greater Seattle area. Josh had just come back from a week at the playboy mansion and wore a watch worth six figures and drives a top of the line Mercedes, which was a bit ludicrous, but somehow he pulls it off with humility.

Here are some pics from the people mag spreads and some outtakes that didn’t make the very small cut:

New Dunderdon store in Portland

Dunderdon has created a beautiful new retail space in the Eagle building on W Burnside and SW 13th.  They make the best Swedish Workwear inspired clothing on this side of the pond. Well, they are actually a Swedish company, but it’s nice to see them in Portland.  Above the register is a gigantic picture of mine.  It looks small in this photo but it’s actually 4×6 feet.  Stay tuned for future Dunderdon/Corey Arnold collaborations.
