"Dutch Harbor: Where Crab is King"

This series was shot in the fall of 2005, when an opportunity to work as a fishery biologist for the International Pacific Halibut Commission took me to Dutch Harbor for seven months. I was intrigued by the vibrancy of red, yellow, orange of raingear, lines and buoy bags of crabbers getting ready to head out. They seemed focused and a bit anxious, not knowing how the season would play out… A couple of weeks later crab boats appeared, fish holds packed with a live golden-reddish carpet of moving crab legs.

"Silhouettes" was shot during a trip to Chile, South America in November of 2004. I had already spent several days exploring a colorful fish market in the coastal fishing town of Valdivia when accidentally glancing up the sun-lit multicolored and translucent tarp covers of the market, I saw a myriad of silhouettes of pelicans, ducks and sea gulls sitting above me, waiting for a tasty discard. Of course, as soon as I made that discovery, clouds begun rolling in and I had only an hour before the silhouettes disappeared altogether. It started raining the next day and I left town.
