While the New Year stands for new beginnings, resolutions, and clean slates, it's also a chance to look back at 2012... a fascinating year. From the eyepopping athleticism of the Summer Olympics in London and the drama of the U.S. Presidential Election to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and the wildfires that ravaged Colorado, there was no lack of engaging photography in 2012. I browsed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8coPV6-CdBY&feature=youtu.be Last week we received an early Christmas gift at my Seattle studio. Ian Ruhter and his crew brought the world's largest mobile camera to chasejarvisLIVE to share the process of wetplate photography with us. Ian's project has attracted a ton of attention and is a great example of the power of personal work. He transformed his life to follow his dream to do something different in photography.

It may be pine trees, stockings, eggnog and carols where I'm at in the 'States, but here's a look at some seasonal partying elsewhere in the world. Ice swimming, road races, and...it turns out...even KFC. Serbia, Thailand, Japan and the West Bank represent. Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate and wherever you are....

Use this info to help make your next production run smooth...

Whatever you want to say about pet photos (I'm usually on the front lines of vigorous head-shaking when it comes to this well-known and over-saturated genre) this series of "cat photos" stopped me in my tracks.
