  • Every year since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Kurt Martin has attached an American flag to one weir pole at each of his five weir traps. Orleans fisherman, Kurt Martin, owns and operates one of the last weirtrap fishing outfits left on Cape Cod. Weirs are an ancient form of trapping fish. They were used by Native Americans hundreds of years ago and have changed little since. They're an environmentally friendly form of fishing as, unlike in other forms of commercial fishing, undersized fish are not caught alongside adult fish.

  • Kurt Martin maneuvers himself in a small boat to check the formation of one of his weir traps just off of Harwich, MA. The eight-shaped  formation of the weir trap allows fish to swim into the trap.  When the fish panic, they swim further out to sea which leads them into the upper loop of the eight, trapping them only further.

  • One of my favorite moments in New Zealand was photographing yellow-eyed penguins, the rarest penguins in the world. It was fascinating watching these penguin parents find a moment of reprieve from their penguin chick (on left) after it harassed them–mouth open, squawking, begging for food–as soon as they returned from their day of fishing. They did soon relent and feed it by regurgitating some fish.

  • Koh Lanta, Thailand--Esteemed Buddhist monk, Buddha Isara, addresses the villagers of Hua Laem after many of them lost their homes and fishing boats to the Tsunami on December 26th, 2004.  "I know you are Muslims and I come to you not as a Monk but as a Thai," said Isara who pledged to supply the materials and experienced labor needed to repair the village's fishing boats.  In addition, Isara plans to live in the village for several weeks, primarily to send a message to the Thai government of peaceful resistance to the relocation plans. Within Thailand, Isara is seen as a modern-day Gandhi figure, thus giving the villagers a powerful voice. 01/31/05 © Julia Cumes / The Image Works

  • Shane Ho'opai (far right) and some volunteer friends break up banana stumps in preparation for cooking a wild pig for Shane's brother Jesse's wedding at their father's home in Waimea, Hawaii.  "We have some river rocks and keawe wood and then we'll put a bed of banana stumps and ti leaves down and then we'll put the pigs in," says Jesse Ho'opai, describing the traditional Hawaiian kalua pig-cooking process.  "The pigs will cook for hours and come out very soft and tasty," he adds.  Many of the cowboy families supplement their income by hunting and fishing.  "Growing up, we survived off the pork," says Shane Ho'opai, Jesse's brother.  "When my dad worked for Parker Ranch, he didn't bring home that much," he explains.

  • What I love so much about stand up paddle boarding is its ability to transport one, surrounded by nature, to a quiet, meditative state. On a perfect full moon, windless evening in late September, I got to photograph the nighttime version of this. Waterproof LED lights are attached to the bottom of the boards, illuminating the water below which meant the paddlers could see fish passing by. I photographed this from a jetty at a harbor near my<br />
house and was stunned by the beauty of it.
