Inspired By_Challenged By: The Creative Gap

I recently received the email below: "Your pictures are stunning. Mine are not. Not trying to oversimplify this, but how on earth do you do what you do with a camera? I desperately want to move my creativity forward, but it won't seem to budge." OK, first thing's first: Over time I've challenged myself, struggled, and worked hard and failed, and sucked a-plenty. You already know this. As artists, we all do. Sometimes the inspiration... read more ›

Chase Jarvis SHORTS: Sweet Photography Van

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-TzMbYSK5M Heading into a recent commercial job in San Diego, we were a little underpowered. Our staff Digital Asset Management guru, Dartanyon, was tied to the studio on some other business and as a result we needed some more DAM muscle on the road--and quick! A phone call later, our problem was solved... Enter stage right: The Digital Capture Systems tricked-out digital photography uber-van. Enter stage left: a new video series titled Chase Jarvis SHORTS, where... read more ›

The Caffeine Is Kicking In

So I've been mostly off caffeine for about 2 years now. Surely I dig into that go-fast java juice every once in a while when I "need" a kick in the arse, but mostly I'm off it.Until today that is... Yowza. You'll have to join me in starting off our week with some inspirational speedlinks. Portfolio reviews, iPhone tips, graffiti art, anti-graffit art, staying home with your kids, and, of course, terrorists. It's ala carte.... read more ›

RWAV_6 REVEALED: Dubai, NYC, Tokyo

Tokyo. Enjoy my stay with this cap? Wha?Well, well, well. The detectives amongst us continue to blow the doors of the Room With(Out) A View series. Indeed, the most recent RWAV "trifecta" was tougher than most, but the correct answers rolled in... You correctly guessed: Dubai's not-so-fancy Holiday Inn Express was the photo out the window facing the sandy parking lot; NYC was the Soho Grand facing the building under construction; and that shot out... read more ›

Chase Jarvis: ROOM WITH(OUT) A VIEW_6, “The Trifecta”

Alert all the detectives. I haven't done one of these low-brow things in a while, even amidst the requests...so here we go. Here's another doozie of an RWAV. Only this one's a little different. I'm not asking you to guess just one Room With(out) A View, but rather guess my location in my last three hotels at one go. Hence, "the Trifecta". You know the game - props, a bunch of new visitors to your... read more ›

We Are Independant, Yet We Are Somehow The Same

Why does so much of our work look so much alike, even when we strive for it to look so different?Given yesterday's discussion I had to investigate. In less than 5 minutes last night, for no apparent reason, I was able to find about 20 of my images that look, feel, appear, strangely similar to nearly 20 images in the 2008 PDN Photo Annual. Thus, even in the face of working on new, experimental stuff,... read more ›

Doing Stuff First. Or Not.

We've all had it happen, professionals, amateurs, beginning photogs alike. You think you have a great idea...gonna go shoot this cool new concept...then whammo. You see it done by somebody else. You can have more respect for it done well and less for it done poorly, but it's the idea that counts. And "they" beat you to it. Know what I say about that stuff? Get used to it.FWIW, (and if it makes anybody out... read more ›

Happy Friday: Improv Everywhere

Feels great to be home after a long jaunt on the road. That said, I'm tuning out for the weekend for some R&R; and leaving you with something fun and clever. It's been out for a long time, but I'm a sucker for this stuff. Happy Friday!

Chris Jordan’s Art Is Really Good

Photo Copyright Chris Jordan.Given that last week in the USA was "National Bike to Work Week", and given that I basically did the opposite of biking to work by flying massive jets all over the world, I feel more than compelled to steer our attention to the environment for a moment. Enter: Chris Jordan. I don't know this man, but I need to meet him in the next 5 minutes. Chris Jordan makes great art.... read more ›
