From the long journey: Dutch Harbor to Seattle a few weeks ago.
The Rollo is now back and happily getting it’s hull scrubbed of barnacles in Seattle. Great things are happening back here in Portland. My solo show at Richard Heller Gallery has been forwarded to a May 12 opening. This will be my most exciting solo exhibition to date!
I’ve been invited to a show some photos at the inagural exhibition at the new Higher Pictures Gallery in NYC opening April 14 6-8Pm. Kim Bourus formerly the creative director at Magnum Photos and Daniel Silverstien formerly of the Silverstien Gallery have teamed up to form Higher Pictures Gallery. The show will feature works by super heavy hitters and some of my favorite legends like Diane Arbus, James Nachtwey, Henri Cartier Bresson, Koudelka, Robert Capa, Kertesz and many more… Wow.
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.
On temporary eye injury sick leave in Anchorage, AK. Nothing permanent though. I’ve got some photos up at Tim Barber’s Tiny Vices installation in Paris. Check it out. I’m in and out of email contact for 3 more weeks so sorry if I haven’t responded. Also, my good buddy Aubrey Hays has a new website of photos. Check it out here.
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.
Tomorrow, I will join the Rollo for about 7 weeks of crab fishing in the Bering Sea. If you’d like to send me or the others a cookie or letter or a fresh pair of dry socks we would love it! Here’s our address until early February:

Meanwhile if you are in Oslo, Norway on February 3rd, check out the opening of an exhibition I will have some work in at the Raadhus. Opening is from 1300-1700. Finnmart Kunst og Kultur fra Finnmark. The Queen is invited!
By the way, next week in Miami Richard Heller Gallery (Santa Monica) will be showing a group of my images (big ones) at the Pulse Art Fair.
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.
Long time no news! I’ve been visiting NYC, crab fishing for a month aboard the Rollo followed by a couple weeks of halibuting. Acres of new stuff in the works. If you’re in Tokyo, Japan in December I’ll have some work in the Tiny Vices show at Studio B opening on the 16th. Check out Tim Barber’s website (tinyvices.com) for a great collection of photographer’s portfolios. Also, I’m still looking for a workspace in Portland if you know of any.
Hi, I’m changing my status to U.S. resident for at least the next year. After crab season which starts for me in a week, My official home will be in Portland, Oregon and I have a new phone number:503-853-2050. The Fishermen’s News has been using some pics lately. They are an old school commercial fishing newspaper out of Seattle. I’m off to Alaska in one week for another King Crab season so email response could be a bit spotty!
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.
