Selective Focus Can Be Your Friend — Tilt Photography on the Cheap

Hey photo friends - Erik here. While I'm typically the video guy around these parts,  I wanted to hop on the blog to quickly tell you about a piece of camera gear that I’ve been enjoying lately.  I picked up a Tilt Transformer from Lensbaby about a month ago and it’s now a permanent piece of my walk-around photography kit.  The Tilt Transformer allows you to mount your Nikon lenses to a Micro Four Thirds... read more ›

Stunning Images from Tornado Alley [Consider Helping Out]

In the last few months, tornados have ripped through much of midwest. The wreckage is crazy, many people have lost everything--some even their lives--and aide workers are doing their best to piece it all back together. There a few photos of the storms themselves--which are huge and scary--but mostly, there are tons of photos of the aftermath...destroyed houses, overturned cars, ruined farms...which kind of fall into the... read more ›

From Skulls to Spam Cans — These Cameras Are SuperCool & SuperWeird

Turtleshell camera by Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs via Flavorwire
My homies over at Flavorwire ran a really cool gallery of cameras made out of unusual stuff--like trees, shells, and--like you see in the photo above, a turtle shell (no turtles were harmed in the making...only natural causes of death...)...

Creatives: Are You Killing Yourself on Price?

raise your price, raise your profile on chase jarvis blog by andertoons
Are the fees or prices you're charging for your creative services too low? I bet they are. Try doubling the money. You have to deliver the goods, of course, but that's true in any work. Chances are that the clients you ditched needed ditching, the clients you carry forward and the new clients you land will pay those fees happily and will better understand the value you bring. And I'm guessing you'll be happier and... read more ›

EMERGING TALENT: Cole Rise + His Most-Ethereal Landscapes

There has always been something haunting to me about farmland in the off-seasons, when everything is yellow and wilted, or when snow sits quietly in the trenches that are usually full of blooming crops. Cows move minimally through faded landscapes, and the entire thing has an air of melancholy and stillness to it. Capturing this feeling is not easy, unless perhaps you're photographer Cole Rise. He's our featured Emerging Talent this week. He shoots with... read more ›

Whether you caught the LIVE show or missed it, I recommend pressing play on the #cjLIVE rewatch video above. You'll see why it was one of the most popular shows we've run.

Four stars - not to miss. ----
