Last week when I announced my newest book, Seattle 100: Portrait of a City, I promised to blog, vlog, report and otherwise share the behind-the-scenes process of what it’s been like so far in taking this project to print AND what’s going on in these final weeks prior to the official “launch”. Lots to report. My hope is that this can help anybody who is heading into a book project or perhaps considering it…
Hundreds of questions poured this week about the process, so in this chasejarvis CURRENT video I recorded last night at 1am, I tackle a handful of those questions and rattle on a bit about what’s going on this week. Bear with me on my yapping. It was late. I was knackered. I’ll be doing one of these every week till the book hits shelves in October, so lemme know what you want to hear more
about… Lastly, I just found out that Seattle 100 is the #2 Black & White photography book selling at Amazon right now, and #1 in Photography Travel section. Check it:
[Update: Since posting this–thanks to you–we’re now #1 in b/w and #1 in travel AND #9 in Digital Photography. Majorly humbled and thank you!]
Huge huge thanks to all you who are purchasing. I’d be so grateful if book stayed high in those rankings…for if you remember, all my proceeds go to 4culture.org. Let’s raise some money for a good cause.
Buy Seattle 100: Portrait of a Cityfrom Amazon.
I LOVE the idea of your book, am having to wait until it’s released in the UK …..but might work on my swim stroke and endurance for a cross channel swim…next summer!
Hi Chase,
My friend Ben sent me your D7000 YouTube videos after I told him I wanted to get a D7000… I love the “Benevolent Mischief” Video!! I just pre-ordered your book at 4am today through Amazon!!

I’m inspired by you and your team, you guys are awesome!! 🙂 Looking forward to receiving your books and hoping to attend your October 21st event!! : ) Kari
chase –
i have been wanting to create a book for some time – i love the concept of this one and can’t wait to see it. i have never been to seattle but for some reason i’ve had this urge to visit – it just sounds like an awesome place to be. i added a link to your site in the sidebar of my blog as a reminder of where i want to be when i am talking about my ten years of hard work – thanks for giving me someone to look up to!!!
peace.
