Whale Warriors (6 photos) JUN 05, 2010 01:00A.M.
A message left on the the bridge rail by crew after a whale sighting off Antarctica’s coast.
© Adam Lau Crew members brace themselves on the bow of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship, MV Steve Irwin, as it plunges through Antarctic swells. Adam Lau, a student from San Francisco State University, documented the ship and it’s crew as they pursued and clashed with Japanese whaling vessels. Such ships are accused of hunting commercially under the guise of “scientific research.” While Sea Shepherd claims to be non-violent, its aggressive tactics have provoked criticism from other groups, making it the black sheep of the conservation movement. Lau’s series is included in the PDN Photo Annual 2010 online gallery. The MV Steve Irwin and it’s crew are also the subject of the Animal Planet series Whale Wars. The crew hurls bottles of butyric acid at the Yūshin Maru No. 1, a Japanese harpoon ship, during a clash in Antarctica’s Ross Sea. “Rotten butter bombs” were aimed at the whaling ship’s deck in the hope of making work on board difficult, and tainting meat to be sold at market.

It’s a land of parched canyons, bleached solitudes, and bulwarks of intoxicating rock,” Hampton Sides writes in the book’s introduction. “It’s the country made famous by Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner, and Georgia O’Keeffe, a queer world of upheaval and stark finality cooked in an unforgiving forge.

All photos © Susanna Pozzoli. On the Block #59, 2008, courtesy Harlem Studio Fellowship by Montrasio Arte. Italian photographer Susanna Pozzoli was invited by the Harlem Studio Fellowship by Montrasio Arte, a privately funded non-profit residency program for international artists, to work on a photographic project in 2007. The result was a three years long fascinating portrait of all the buildings’ interiors (private houses, school, church, bar, doctor’s office) present in one single city block, the one where Harlem Studio Fellowship is located. The project is currently on view at the UCR California Museum of Photography in Los Angeles.
