Don't view this as endorsement of kids smoking, tobacco or any of that shiznit. But these photos will make you look twice, guarenteed. Regardless of if it's social, political or commercial, or otherwise, it's very effective art. This is smart, powerful, horrible. This photo series "The Beauty of an Ugly Addiction" is Photographer Frieke Janssens’ response to nicotine addiction and new smoking laws. She asks, "does this ban treat adults like children who can’t willfully...

That's right, you read the headline is correct. Over the weekend a diver, Markus Thompson, found a camera at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of British Colubmia. He salvaged the camera, poked around a little bit (determining that the camera had been dropped into the water in August 2010), recovered the data off the card and, using Google+, found the owner. Markus' original post and updates here. The social web...

While I was in Asia last week, I got a update note from my talented, activist photographer friend, Chris Jordan, with a link to the below, powerful, heartwrenching clip... He's making progress on his feature documentary at midway. NOTE: this content is emotive and graphic. It shows the last moments--literally the last breaths--of a dying albatross. If this might bother you, do not watch it. If, on the other hand, you have the ability to...

"I can’t get over the feeling that pictures taken with a camera in a phone that everyone owns [iphone] have no value." - Excerpt from APhotoEditor, Drowning in Photography Sorry APE, forgive me for being prescriptive, but you'd better get over that feeling.

Me and/or my crew have been in Paris, NYC, LA, Seattle, and Salt Lake City in the past 10 days alone. Given that sort of schedule, we don't always have time/ability to cut together a chasejarvisLIVE re-watch (that's why you should always watch live), but this was an absolute must. It was an epic show. Chryde, founder of amazing La Blogotheque/Take Away Shows, was our first guest all the way from Paris. He...

Been tons of chatter online about the Lytro camera the last few weeks. In case you've been living under a rock or too busy to notice, then you'll be happy to know that the new Lytro camera allows you to select focus AFTER you shoot the photograph. AMAZING technology developed at Stanford by Ren Ng. Just like you can change the white balance after capture when shooting RAW, well now you can put those striking...
