Graveyard Point: Group Photo 2011

DateMonday, December 12, 2011 at 03:12PM

This is a short video I put together showing the "behind the scenes" action as photographer Corey Arnold rallied a group of commercial fishermen for a group photo on July 12, 2011. The fishermen in question are all part of the summer community at Graveyard Point, at the mouth of the Kvichak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska, where Corey and I have also fished for the past three summers. The photo graced the back cover of the December 2011 issue of Alaska magazine as part of an ad campaign opposing the proposed Pebble Mine. Read more about it over on Corey's blog.

If you look really closely at the final photo, below, you might be able to make out Corey and me in the middle of that scrum of raingear-clad fishermen.
