Dave Seoane sizes things up. by Plain T
Photo_Mertz
Dave Seoane, steward and fabrication genius of Nemo Design took it upon himself to create an apple box for one of our favorite photographers, Carlin Sundell. Dave saw opportunity for improvement when he spotted our 6′ 7″ Carlin, sitting awkwardly on a standard size apple box while shooting. So, he created an amazingly beautiful and much more functional box for Carlin. Using Plyboo he designed a sturdy, large, and wild looking apple box for Studio Nemo. Thank you Dave!
The Continental Crawler
Our photographer friend, Michael Cogliantry- the Furry Kama Sutra Guy- is on his way here to Portland, OR. He and his lovely family have discovered the beauty of the great Northwest and are documenting their trek across country. IT IS AWESOME!!!!! Enjoy episode 1….

MOCC in Portland
I am totally in love with the Museum of Contemporary Craft. They have had some great shows since they opened. This one is particularly interesting…
“War Bowl” by Domic Wilcox
Manuf®actured opens this Thursday at MoCC. The exhibition explores the use of “labor-intensive craft practices” to take apart and remold mass produced objects and materials. The wide variety of work examines questions of “overabundance, appropriation, [and] reuse.” MoCC will, as always, stay open for the First Thursday artwalk next week.
Exhibition • August 28, 2008 – January 4, 2009
Lecture • 6:30pm • September 18
Museum of Contemporary Craft • 724 NW Davis • 503.223.2654
We love Barack at Nemo
One of our own, Christopher Douglas, has designed these amazing T’s to show his (and I would venture to say all of our) support for Barack Obama for President!!!!! We had a short but fun shoot for them in the studio today. Beautiful shirt, beautiful photo (Carlin Sundell), beautiful models (Liz and Tyler) and a beautiful new start for the US of A. BARACK ME LIKE A HURRICANE!
Initiation
We’ve been lax on the nemo initiation process with the massive amounts of new employees trickling in so today we decided to catch up and corralled all the new employees and some not so new but yet to be initiated… this process includes the ingestion of (about) 4 drops of vicious viper hotsauce. This sauce is not for the faint of heart….for a few this ended in tears and others it was the bathroom. Thanks for being good sports and welcome to nemo!!!!
Too good to pass up…

Chase Jarvis gets first dibs on Nikon D90! Luckyyyy!
Chase Jarvis is one lucky son of a B! Nikon teamed up with his crew and gave them all D90′s weeks before the official press release debuting the camera came out, check out the specs here and peep the movie to see all the fun things this camera can do!
The Arcaic Work of Maria Pinar Yolacan
Maria is not only a talented photographer but she is creating her own photographic subjects…that being the clothing she makes from the remains of dead animals. To top this creative genius off she has chosen models from a small island in Brazil of ages 27-90. This is a great follow up to her earlier series of elderly women wearing apparel made of chicken skins. You can check out more of her work online.
Powder & Rails on VBS.TV
Powder & Rails is a new video series on VBS.TV. It covers snowboarding’s early days, day-glo and all! With interviews from Pat Bridges of Snowboarder Magazine, Kevin English of HCSC, Nemo’s own Trevor Graves and many more legends in the game! They give the low down on those days of tindy’s, grassers, eggplants and stiffy mute’s! TUNE IN!
The Voo Dew Doughnuts get Props…

Kudos to those designers!

BMX in the Beijing Olympics – Mark Lewman on the spot for Nemo
-
- 1 The day of days is finally here: BMX in the Olympics. Our group has a battery of Nike helpers on the ground to get things done. First things first, where the hell is the best route to the Laoshan stadium? Even with the government mandate to cut Beijing traffic in half during the Olympics, the roads are still crowded and the smog and haze are insane this morning.
-
- Get in here
-
- People fan out and the key to being a better fan is to have giant stuff. Like this Aussie dude.
-
- Who knew BMX had official cheerleaders? The press pool needs to get into the spirit.
-
- The starting gate was a three story tall drop. Riders hit about 30mph down the first straight, with key sections of the track paved. This descent ramp was wooden.
-
- When the gate drops, the bullshit stops. Mike Day holeshots down the first straight.
-
- Mike Day slated to win the gold. YEAHHH!
-
- Kyle Bennett, a team USA athlete racing for a slot in the finals, gets tangled up in the first turn. This was the gnarliest crash of the day.
-
- The berms are asphalt and riders carve through the corners held in place by G-forces. Their bikes are almost level against the wall of the berm. So rad.
-
- But one fuck up at this speed and it all goes to hell in a hurry.
-
- The Dutch guy leading the pack buckles under the G-forces and he goes down, starting a chain reaction of bad stuff…
-
- Which ends with Kyle Bennet on the ground, completely jacked.
-
- Kyle Bennet in the gnarliest wreck of the day.

Lee Miller Exhibit at MOMA
The SFMOMA is showing a retrospective of photograper Lee Miller’s work. She was the muse of Man Ray and an amazing surrealist photographer/photojournalist:
One of the most unconventional female artists of the 20th century, Lee Miller was admired for her classical beauty, intelligence, and photographic talent. This retrospective spans her career as a photographer and explores her transformation from muse and model to groundbreaking artist in her own right. Born in New York in 1907, Miller modeled for Vogue before meeting Man Ray in Paris in 1929. Inspired by his work, Miller began creating her own striking surrealist photographs. Later, she became a war photographer for British Vogue and was the only woman in combat photojournalism in Europe during World War II. After the war, she continued a nimble photographic practice, with later work including high-comedy portraits of art-world friends such as Max Ernst, Alfred H. Barr Jr., and Saul Steinberg. – SFMOMA

Bande á part – NY Underground 60′s-80′s @ Augen Gallery PDX,OR
Nemo went for a visit to the Augen Gallery in NW Portland. Featuring photographs from Danny Fields, Godlis, Anton Perich, Bobby Grossman, Roberta Bayley along with many others, and they even have some Andy Warhol prints on the wall too, phenomenal show!
Strength in numbers by Plain T
The power of a pair is undeniable. Every Bonnie wants their Clyde! And why shouldn’t they, it is the chemical urge to find our mate, the one that will be our partner in crime forever. Some couples look like they were made for eachother. Like a key missing its lock, without eachother they are without functionality. This couple from Helsinki Finland is the epitome of inseparability. Andreas (18) and Tanja (24) have a style that stands alone, but as you see, together they become something intangible and whole. I bet they even light each others cigarettes! Go to Hel Looks to find more Finish street.
Mark Borthwick
Mark Borthwick is an amazing experimental fashion photographer but his creative doesn’t stop there. He often accompanies his photographic work with writing, drawings, and even live performances. As a photographer, musician and film maker, his work has a distinct feel of a still capture of a motion reel that you could really only get when you approach your work with this much original diversity. Theres a great interview with him on fecal face.
