Fecal Face is having another anniversary party. I’m excited to finally go to this one. I’ll have a couple pictures in it as well. Say hello if you see me there!

I just received some copies of “Backyard Shakedown”. It’s a new photography book featuring 20 up and comers into the photo world. There is some nice work in there by some great ghetto documentary photographers. I’ve got a two pager in there too. It’s put out by Upper Playground and looks like this.

Suzanne Shade from the Beholder is hosting another exhibition of Beholder photographers this time in San Francisco. I’ll have a couple photos up on the wall. The Gallery is Parklife. 220 Clement St.

FHM (UK) just published a two page interview with me about life as a crab fisherman. Man, what a trashy magazine. In other news I’ll be heading back to Alaska (Ketchikan) next week on assignment with the German Fashion Magazine Neon. Also look out for upcoming articles/photos in Artweek, Juxtapoz, Monster children (AU), RE:UP, and several Chinese publications. Oh, and check out this great photographer’s work: Amy Stein. I haven’t seen anything this great in awhile.

Nice things are happening, but time should please stand still so I can spend a month landscaping my home! Pics from The Richard Heller Gallery show should be on their way soon. I’m in a group show in NYC right now at Sara Tecchia Roma New York. Stop in and say hello if you have a minute.

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!

Show is this Saturday. Hope to see you there! Here is the Press Release and map.

Greetings. Preparation for the L.A. show at Richard Heller Gallery is in full swing. You can click HERE for the Press release. Below is the invite for the Beholder group show the following weekend. In other news my cat is at the vet getting a histerectomy.

I’ve been nominated for the Aperture West Book Prize. Hot Dog! Also, this month you will find a great critical story about “Deadliest Catch” in the April issue of Mens Journal. My photo of Chris getting pummeled by a wave can be found on the contents page. In gallery show news, I’ll have a few photos in the Beholder-art show on May 19th at the Tinlark Gallery in Los Angeles.

Bob Kronbauer of Crown Farmer and Little Giants has started his own online magazine called Mumble. He did a little feature interview with me for the 1st issue. Looks like the mag is worthy of a bookmark. Also below is the invite for the incredible NYC line-up at Higher Pictures opening Saturday.

On a skate trip with some Norwegian buddies… hitting parks from Lincoln City to San Francisco. Oregon parks are rediculous… if it doesn’t have oververt, it’s probably not in Oregon.

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.

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

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.

An Artist named Laura Findlay from Montreal, Canada made some paintings of my photos and sent me these. Thanks!

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.

Rolling Stone Magazine Italy just did a 4 page feature and interview about my life as a fisherman / photographer. Weird! It’s the february issue and you have to speak Italian to understand. Nice people over there.

Hi, our sister ship the f/v Arctic Hunter ran into a big rock and so the Rollo is holed up in Dutch Harbor helping out as well as ducking some fierce storms here in the Bering Sea. By the way, here is the new Rollo boat kitty. She’s been in heat for 8 strait days and is worn out.
