Scott Dickerson’s unique Alaskan winter surfing photography has made its way into the latest Patagonia Heart of Winter 2009 mail order catalog. The double page spread photo on pages 14-15 in the catalog has a caption that reads: Alaskan surf only gets good in the winter when Father Cold and Uncle Darkness reign. Fortunately that’s also cabin-fever season, which is why Gart Curtis is running down a snow-covered beach in the near-darkness of a midwinter day for a chance at a few cold, stormy waes.

The annual Alaska Federation of Natives Convention recently took place in Anchorage, Alaska. This event brings Alaskan natives from all over the state to Anchorage for a weekend. The non-profit Renewable Resources Coalition wanted to share a few messages with the attendees.
Kevin Co of Frontier Media Arts was tasked with developing the campaign just days before the event. The project in his own words :
“We decided that this would be a great time to use non-traditional media, so I called up the folks at Mobile Ad Alaska to see if we could rent out their truck. What we ended up with what can best be described as a mobile 10 sided billboard that could be moved around to target different flows of people throughout the event.”
Scott was honored by Kevin’s choice to work with his Bristol Bay photos on this project. Below is a short video by Kevin showing the finals steps of the project.
