Off to Cape Town

treeshowpc.gif

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.

Ahh, Norway

prekestolen.jpg

Hanging in Stavanger, Norway at the moment and almost walked off this cliff yesterday. Rumour has it that two weeks ago someone threw part of a hot dog over the cliff and their dog jumped after it. Darn! Thanks to Design Sponge and Josh Spear for the nice reviews of my new website. If you are using Safari and reading this, you will find that the menu dosen’t work, we’re fixing that ASAP but just use the arrows on the top right to get outta here.

The New site is online! There are still a few bugs though…. for example if you are using safari, you might have some troubles with the menu. We’re working on it but its nice to just get it out there finally! Feel free to email me if something isn’t working ok. Also I’ll have photos in two new San Francisco exhibitions: GRSF Tree Show in July and Fecal Face Annual Exhibition at 111 Minna in August. Thanks!

Omlettes with Rachell

I’ve just arrived in Vardø, Norway. After eating an omelette in the next ten minutes, SF Accomplice Rachell Sumpter and I will set out in search of the elusive Sami reindeer herder and the often shifty Norwegian whaler and will likely have a seal hunting conversation with at least 3 other people. In other news… This months issue of SOMA magazine has a series of street portraits from coreyfishes.

Carl’s Cars wins magazine of the year!

Back in Oslo. Congrats to Karl, Andre, and the other people at Carl’s Cars Magazine for getting picked as one of the best designed magazines in the world by some award thing in New York… I don’t even like cars but it’s my favorite magazine and Karl is a real nice guy. In other news, I’ve got another group show in San Diego this month at L Street Fine Art Gallery in the gaslamp area. Opening is April 27th. A couple pics from the Night series will be present. Say hello to Nicole, she seems like a nice person on the phone.

Greetings from Lofoten.

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.

Opilio 2006

news-rollo-dinner.jpg

Back on board the Rollo for another round of Opilio crabbin’. As I write, we are anchored up at St Paul Island in the middle of the Bering Sea. Winds are blowing from the North at 40 knots. Temp is 18 degrees Farenheit. Ice is forming on the deck and we are preparing for heavy freezing spray for the next week of fishing. The discovery film crew is back on board with cameras waiting to capture our boat as it turns into a giant ice cube. Meanwhile I’m writing a story with photos for National Fisherman magazine, shooting once again for the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” and making a website for our boat. Have a nice day.

Exhibition at the Nordic Heritage Museum

news-yvonne.jpg

Another King crab season has come and gone. Rationalization has claimed the jobs of at least 800 crabbers. The Rollo will luckily continue to fish. Discovery Channel filmers Jeff and Todd kept us talking. Meanwhile coreyfishes has been busy shooting stills for the Discovery Channel, Dagbladet Søndag, and Widerø airlines magazine in Norway. Ripe Magazine out of Vancouver has some Coreyfishes images inside, and Stay Honest magazine in NYC will have a nice series of my horny cat coming out soon. The Coreyfishes exhibition “Crabbing in the Bering Sea: photographs from the F/V Rollo 2003-2005” at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle opened on Thursday. A nice turn out and a lovely spread of cheeses and pickled herring as well as an open bar made for a pleasant evening that quickly became morning. The photos will be up until the end of February. Anyone thinking about buying a print should consider it a fundraiser for my Norway fishing project!

Bad Whaling and a new season of Deadliest Catch

Another week of whaling aboard the Bolga has produced zero whales once again. Bad weather conditions have spoiled our luck. The season has come to an end and the bloody whale photos will have to wait until next year! In other news, me and the crew of the F/V Rollo have been chosen to star in next seasons episodes of “Deadliest Catch” on the Discovery Channel. If you haven’t seen the show yet (I haven’t), I heard some of the other crabbers say its a decent show. Here is a link to the “Deadliest Catch” homepage.

Vardoe Fish Factory Exhibition

Corey Arnold exhibition in norway

Last week in Vardø, Norway a former fish factory was transformed into a massive exhibition space housing 11 artists and photographers. It was one of Vardøs biggest art events and an experimental success. Here are some photos from my section, “Fishscapes Finnmark”. Another set of my photos can be found at the Hamningberg Handel Galleri in Hamningberg, Norway. Thanks to the German ex-patriot Mott Whyte for making this happen. I will no doubt return soon to Vardø. Arctic Char fishing in the nearby lakes is spectacular.
