Blustery images

New York magazine photographer Jennifer Boomer thought her stint in Dutch Harbor would be fleeting. Instead she fell for the gusty, wet and weird place and set about capturing it with her camera. "Greetings from Dutch Harbor" opens today at SubZero Microlounge, 612 F St. Boomer has shown work in galleries from New York to Berlin, but this marks her first show in her new hometown.
