Photography in rough seas...

Corey Arnold is a commercial fisherman and fine art photographer based in Portland, Oregon. He has lived in Oslo, Norway for the past four years while commuting seasonally to Alaska where he works on a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea.

His recent project is photographing fishermen and whalers in remote regions of Arctic Norway and Alaska. In 2005, he received an American-Scandinavian Foundation grant for the project. Corey's work has been exhibited worldwide, and printed in recent publications such as Italian Rolling Stone, Giant Robot, Outside, Juxtapoz, RE:UP, Norwegian Adbusters, National Fisherman and dozens of national and international magazines this year.

Retro Sound

A clever way to indulge in both old-school aesthetics and modern technology is Science and Sons' Phonofone II. The limited-edition, handmade ceramic sculpture is a functional gramophone, whose soothing curves and well-engineered design turn your music player's puny output into resonant, room-filling sound. Combine your iPhone and a Phonofone, and hear the past and present make beautiful music together.
Phonofone II by Science and Sons, serial limited edition of 200, about $840. For more information and to order, see www.scienceandsons.com
