In the past several days, I’ve received a ton of correspondence asking if I’d re-post my chasejarvisLIVE Keynote address from the PDN Photo Plus Expo in NYC last week. You asked for it, you got it.
At about the 25-or-so minute mark, I wrap up my monologue and invite a handful of guests on stage, all of whom I consider my friends who are living my message. I think you’ll be quite engaged. By my count it’s the first time all these folks have been together under one roof.

An impressive cast by any measure. Please give it a watch and share your thoughts. The topic is The New Creativity and the Social Art of Photography. In short, it’s about the new, crazy world of creating and sharing and how it has redefined an entire era.
[Update: there’s about 30 seconds of blackness where you still get perfect audio, but no visual. Hopefully you won’t mind – it’s just 30 seconds where you’re freed from looking at my dumb mug…]
Dude, you pump me up!

Chase,
I’ve watched this twice, the whole way through now, and I can’t get the words out of my head, it’s simply amazing. I am an 18 year old on my way to college next year, and I have this passion that I wan’t to study photography, I wan’t to be somebody from all this, and your talks always inspire me to want that even more. I say thank you for that, and thank you for opening up the world of digital media to the art of photography.

See Tyler, you’re the victim of CJ. you’re his core audience. Don’t be fooled by him. I wish you all the best in your future career, but you better prep up on the business first as nothing that CJ does is photography related. You won’t be successful if you have no business skills.
It’s really easy to produce a candid shot when you have nice location, makeup artist and tye whole crew. The hard and actual work is to get this crew and land a job with a proper budget.
CJ is just lucky and he’s workig hard on his business side, plus he has excellent people skills, he’s likable and “reliable”. he makes up with it all for his lack of talent. but believe me, this is harder to achieve than producing a stunning shot.
So remeber, unless you are making fine art of quality pictures, you need to have that people/business skills first.
HOLY CRAP! So amazing! Every time I feel lost, you come out with something that keeps me going. THANK YOU!
thank you so much for posting this! i really enjoyed watching it and took a lot away from it.
