Deadliest Catch
This past month David D'Angelo ventured up to Alaska to shoot Discovery Channel'sThe Deadliest Catch aboard the F/V Northwestern with Capt. Sig and his crew. On the boat
with Dave, shooting and producing in the wheelhouse, was cinematographer Eric Lange,
a veteran of the show and the deck of the Northwestern. All in all it
was a great king crab season full of lots of action and some stormy days. The 5th season
of the show will air mid-2009.
