Whether you're in the USA observing the holiday from home or the office, or you're abroad and perhaps not, I recommend that you take 17 minutes and watch this video. Pausing to refresh and reflect on this history plays an important role in our present and our future approach to civil rights worldwide.Much respect. Have a great day.RSS readers can catch the video here.--Get my every move: Follow Chase Jarvis on TwitterGet exclusive content:... read more ›

I really dig that we're in a new era of photography where like minded shooters enjoy gathering to learn. I prefer to shoot photos rather than give classes or seminars, but I DO like to create these environments that allow photographers to experiment, socialize, and learn together. That's what this little evening was all about. Our hardworking crew rounded up an InnerSpace indoor skate part, handful of semi-pro skateboarders (mad respect!), a whole truckload... read more ›

I've heard you say that there's nothing to take a picture of. I've heard you say you don't know what to make, when to make it, how to make it, what to do. I've heard you say that you don't know how to get your work "out there". I've heard you say that you don't know what to put on your blog. I've heard. I've heard. I've heard. And I promise you, I too... read more ›

I dunno what you've got planned for today and over the weekend, but if you've got a spare 140 seconds, head over to www.NikonFestival.com and watch the 50 best 140-second video submissions that we've whittled down from more than 1,000 entries. There are some stunning shorts in there.I'll be gathering virtually with fellow judges Rainn Wilson (The Office) and Jusine Ezarik (iJustine) to try to nail down who we're giving the grand prize of $100,000... read more ›

First real day back in the saddle after the holidays? Steal a few minutes and watch this vid. It's not a requirement to love photography as much as the next person, but I love seeing people who love it as much me, my friends, and these guys do. It'll probably remind you why you love photography too. Viva Hamburger Eyes.(via lensculture)

This is a 2009 sample reel from Stargate Studios. Hollywood all the way. Some of the shots from this video reel are certainly better than others, but that's not my point. My point is that this technology is becoming increasingly more available and affordable for still and video production, and is soon to be everywhere. Heck, we even used this technology pretty extensively in The Blakes music video we released last month (thanks to Superfad's... read more ›

We used to require permission from others to put our work into the world with any sort of scale. That permission came in the form of getting hired to shoot a news story, a magazine feature, or an advertising campaign. "They" sat up in fancy corner offices and if you were good...no, scratch that, good AND lucky...'they' would say 'yes' and then you'd be permitted to share your work with the world.Not any more.It's the... read more ›

Typically, the end of each year marks a time for celebration. In that spirit, each autumn our studio has an anniversary party where we celebrate with our clients, business friends and co-collaborators. It's an eclectic mix of about 600 people, from graffiti artists, restaurateurs, musicians, ad execs, city officials and the whole spectrum in between. Everyone lets their hair down and unwinds with the mission of having a darn good time. This year's event... read more ›
