"My way of working is very impulsive. I never know what I want before I actually start shooting. I don’t arrange the setting. The golden thread running through my work is the autobiographical aspect – but not in an obvious way. It is autobiographical in the sense that I photograph things close to me, what is around me. And in the end it matters more in which way I print it and how I photograph something than what."

Billy Frank Jr.
Ecotrust’s Indigenous Leadership Awards, Portland, OR—November, 2012
It has taken me a while to post this photo because I wanted to make sure I told the amazing story of Billy Frank Jr. This man is a legend.
In the 1850’s a treaty was negotiated with Native Americans for tribes to have the rights to fish, hunt, and gather shellfish. However, when tribes exercised their rights off-reservation, they were arrested for violation of state law. Billy believed in the rights of the treaty and continued to fish his tribe’s Nisqually River, and was arrested over 50 times in the 60’s and 70’s. In 1974 his dedication finally paid off when the issue was brought to the courts in U.S. v. Washington, and the judge ruled in favor of the Native Americans. The tribes in Western Washington were made co-managers of the salmon resources and re-affirmed their right to half the harvestable salmon. For the past 30 years Billy has held the position of Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Billy has devoted most of his life to protecting the salmon of the Nisqually River. His dedication to the environment and Native American rights is more than admirable, it’s heroic.
“It’s so important that we have our salmon. That’s who we are. We’re salmon people.” -Billy Frank Jr.

Garrett Cornelison’s bear suit makes him sleepy. One of the things I love about Phoot Camp is that we setup this shot including a giant octabank suspended 15 feet in the air and no one in the shot even gave a second thought. We just shot it as everyone carried about their business.

Dinner with the Dandy Warhols
It’s rare a band asks to have their photo taken, but that is what happened with this shot. I wasn’t ready; I had my 85mm lens on, my flash wasn’t firing, and I had the flu—a perfect recipe for disaster. But despite my minor freak out when they asked for the photo, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
