Crab Angels and Horsie-headed fisherman: Corey Arnold’s Life on a Crab Boat Photos
Loving the Good.com article from last week about Corey Arnold’s new book, Fish-Work. Buy direct from Corey Arnold at his Fish-Workshop. It’s like your local fishmonger, but a lot less stinky and with pictures instead of um…real fish.
