I’m excited to release a handful of new images from my latest trip to the Bering Sea in January.  I worked as a replacement crewman for an injured friend aboard the f/v Rollo for an Opilio crab trip and took some pictures a long the way.  Five of these images will be featured in the Portland 2010 - A Biennial of Contemporary Art exhibition which will open on March 20th. The prints will be my largest ever made… up to six feet wide. See the following blog post for directions and more information.

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!

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.
