Calling all NYC friends - It’s been a while since we got together in person, so let’s do it. We’re bringing the whole Chase Jarvis Crew to the fantastic ACE Hotel in NYC next week and we’d like to kick it with you, have a cocktail or a coca-cola and meet you in person. I think they’re even giving us a special party room so we can make a ruckus. ALL ARE WELCOME. I’ve been... read more ›

I'm excited and proud to officially announce today the launch of Seattle 100: Portrait of a City. This project--a photo, video, and ethnographic study--is the culmination of a 3-year long labor of love where I've identified more than 100 people who are driving culture in/around Seattle. If you've been following along here for the past few weeks, you've seen me writing and vlogging about it. Well, now it's finally here. And like many... read more ›

People that have "done it" will be able to do it again. Whether it's shooting a successful commercial assignment, hanging in a museum, making a music video, or whatever. It may not be a de-facto truth, but that's what's believed on the open market. It's SAFER for the person hiring a creative if they can point to something that you've already done. One reason I get a lot of work is that I've done a... read more ›

Levi's recognizes that photography is absolutely a core component of a new era of creativity. Here's proof: check out their newest project, The Levi's Photo Workshop. It's a community photography collaboration venue located in central Manhattan (18 Wooster St. btwn Canal and Grand). Think free studio space, free camera rentals (even vintage), and a collaborative workspace. Levi's Joshua Katz says this project is... "...a way for Levi’s to offer a unique experience based around creativity... read more ›

If you’ve been paying attention to my latest photo adventure play-by-play here online, then it needs little introduction. The short version is that I’ve been aboard the Pangaea sailing in the South China Sea (in typhoon season....) with renowned explorer Mike Horn. That said, the GEAR for my current project has been the subject of lots of your questions via my Twitter, Facebook and here on the blog, so I thought I’d give you a... read more ›

Today is October 10, 2010...or if you’re sharper than me, that would be 10.10.10. And today all across the world, documentary filmmakers, students and inspired people like you are organizing to record the human experience during this 24 hour period and contribute a voice to what looks to be the largest participatory media event in history. Every country in the world--190 something--are participating, as well as nearly every major NGO...with cameras even being dropped into... read more ›

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of the world in my relatively short life. I’ve hiked, camped, climbed, and adventured plenty on most of the continents. I’ve gone to some pretty remote places and seen some pretty remarkable stuff, but I’ve rarely been as connected to the earth as much as I’ve been in the past week. Being plucked from my daily life, the mayhem of a modern age, and then dropped into a... read more ›

In the 8 weeks leading up to my Seattle 100: Portrait of a City launch, I promised to be blogging, vlogging and any other sort of ‘ogging one can do, as well as answering questions to share the behind the scenes of what’s going on with the project. I've been doing some o' that and now we're just 3 weeks out...sorta, but better. If you recall, in similar fashion to The Best Camera Is the... read more ›
