I'm headed to South Africa in just a few days to reunite with our friend Mike Horn onboard the Pangaea.

Jerard here from Chase's crew. I love a good road trip. There's nothing like the freedom and discovery of hitting the road with no real destination, no particular schedule and nothing but miles as your mission. I've driven the blue highways across the whole of America almost twenty times. Four times on a motorcycle. In all of those miles, there are some memories that fade into the blur... read more ›

Hi friends, Megan here - I'm Chase's primary on-staff producer. We just wrapped up a commercial shoot for a major sporting goods company and it required a monster amount of production. These tips are fresh on my mind and since it was a highly specialized sport shoot on a short time-frame (ie: challenging from a production standpoint) I thought I’d talk a little about the casting process for this type of job. First, as you... read more ›

30 years ago, a snapshot kicked of a lifelong friendship. A group of guys inadvertently started a photo tradition by taking a snapshot of themselves as teenagers during a vacation in 1982. For three decades, they have returned to the same spot to take the same portrait every 5 years. They were 19 years old when the first photo was taken.... read more ›
