About a month ago, I was in Galveston, TX…  shooting some photos of surfers that ride the breaking wakes of Oil Tankers. A wonderful experience in which I’ll go into depth about in an upcoming blog… but just thought I’d post this one picture of Peter in honor of the good times out there. I hope you all are safe and dry.

I’ve been off the grid in Alaska for nearly a month now photographing the salmon fishermen of Bristol Bay, Alaska. I can’t wait to develop this film and hope that my digital files make the trip after my backup hard drive failed… probably due to jarring skiff rides across the bay. More pics and hopefully a more regularly updated blog will come.

I haven’t seen it in person yet but Seattle’s best free weekly, the Stranger put threw my horse and kitty picture on the Cover! The same picture also made the cover of the January/February issue of Adbusters. Although it’s only 2 inches in size, it is proudly displayed next to a portrait of the soon to be late George W. Bush.

Just got back from San Francisco where I was on a top secret assignment for New York Magazine. Well maybe not ‘top’ secret but it was a good fun one. Last week I was in the Yukon Territory taking pictures of risky outdoor behavior for En Route, a nice Canadian Travel Mag. Whitehorse, check it out on the map, then go there… it’s a wonderful place.

Lots of stuff is happenin’ right now. I have an 8 page photo spread in this months issue of RE:UP magazine as well as a very flattering review of my May solo exhibition at Richard Heller Gallery in Artweek Magazine. Thanks! I’m also featured in the August issue of Juxtapoz Magazine on the third to last page. Oh, yes and one on the cover of the September issue of Fisherman’s News. Oh, and just got a copy of China’s amazingly huge and surprisingly lovely Vision Magazine. The July issue featured a few pages of my fishin’ pictures.

Giant Robot Magazine issue 43 is out now. Check out the beautiful cover art by my Arctic accomplice Rachell Sumpter… yeah, that’s me with the fish! An interview with Rachell about our trip accompanied with my photos can be spotted inside.

Outside Magazine is featuring one of my photos on the last page in the August issue. Nice people over there. This month, there’s a really nice article about ski culture in Iran. Who knew? Oh, and I just discovered that the Norwegian whaling story I photographed for Outside last year is now online. My portraits accompany a well written article by Philip Armour.

I just did a little how to blog thing on how to find a fishing job in Alaska for my favorite website Fecalface dot com. Tonight I leave for the Inuit village of Shishmaref in Alaska. I’ll be out of touch for a week while searching for Polar Bears via dogsled and meeting some local whaling folk. See you next week!

The Deadliest Catch box set for season 3 is out. My portrait of Matt is on the cover (he found it a bit embarrassing)
