Cargo Collective

It's not hard to create a website these days, especially with the help of Cargo Collective. Thousands of people are a part of this collective, a collective of artists, videographers, painters, illustrators, photographers... you name it, they have it. Created in the eye of the artist, Cargo Collective allows you to choose from various web designs that they offer and from there it's really simple to start uploading your images and artworks.

So there must be a catch? Slightly...the service is invite only, just so happens I have 4 invites available. So grab at 'em if you're interested.

With the basic(free) membership on cargo you receive your own website (ex. http://www.cargocollective.com/nlatini). Other features include:

✓ Cloud hosting

You can check out my website www.nicholaslatini.com to check out what I've done and if you're interested in an invite just lemme know and I'll send you one via email.

Relieving Stress

So everyone's all stressed out about printing for portfolios and assembling their frames for the show. So let's talk about a simple way to relieve stress, dance.

"We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance....well they're no friends of mine."

Thank you Men At Work...

It's proven! Exercise relieves stress. That angry beast inside you .... let it out through the power of dance. Here's a bonus too... you can even dance to music. Yeah I know! Everyone likes music, it sounds good through our ear holes. Most of the time.

Just watch and learn...

Corey Arnold

"Corey is a photographer and Alaskan commercial fisherman. From 2003-2010 he worked as a deckhand on the Bering Sea crabber f/v Rollo and more recently, captains a wild salmon gillnetting operation in Bristol Bay, Alaska. The off season is filled with travel, gallery exhibitions, magazine and ad photography assignments mixed with a bit of backyard gardening, cat maintenance, and skateboarding in Portland, Oregon.

He is currently working on a life long project entitled FISH-WORK which chronicles the commercial fishing lifestyle throughout the world. In 2010, a PEW foundation commission led to the Fish-Work Europe series, photographing aboard fishing vessels in eight European countries. in 2005, he received an American Scandinavian Foundation grant to photograph the fishermen and whalers of Northern Norway. Corey was recently nominated for the Aperture West Book Prize and the Santa Fe Prize for Photography, and named one of PDNs 30 for 2009. His pictures have been featured in The Paris Review, Esquire, Whitewall, Artweek, Outside, American Photo, Juxtapoz and many others"

This dude is awesome and I mean seriously awesome. If that info from his website www.coreyfishes.com isn't enough proof then just check out these breathtaking images.











I love his work not only due to it's beauty but due to the fact that it shows a lot of the behind the scenes imagery of Bering Sea fishers. We've all seen or heard of the television show The Deadliest Catch that depicts crab fishermen risking their lives in the Bering Sea, but what I like about Arnold's images is that he brings a humor to the stressful lives of these men.





And then there's the extreme humor...
