I'm huge in China because the average height of a Chinese male is 5 foot 5 inches tall, and I'm 6 foot tall, right on the dot.Trivia aside, the Chinese periodical PhotoWorld China just rolled out a 5,000 word story featuring yours truly. I normally don't put these things in the regular blog, and instead put this stuff in the press page at chasejarvis.com This is a little different, however, so let me explain: I...

Okay, THAT was fun. I really enjoyed the hell out of that for a number of reasons: your humor, your cleverness, your brilliance, my teasing the wrong answer out of you, my planted clues your detective-ness, the educational value, and the general gamesmanship. Plus, underneath it all, you guys and gals are really freaking sharp.ANSWER: Paris, France. 12, rue Birague, Hotel Place des Vosges, Room 42. A couple "winners" links at the bottom of the...

Waaaaay back in 2007, you’ll recall we launched multiple video series aimed at presenting the unseen side of professional photography: Chase Jarvis: RAW (behind the scenes b-roll), Chase Jarvis: FRAMES (every image from a shoot sewn together into a video), Chase Jarvis: TECH (tips born from the road and solutions to real life photo challenges), and Chase Jarvis: CURRENT (video recordings of my occasional keynotes and random creative talks from around the world). These are...

Here's a tip we didn't see coming when we posted our Chase Jarvis TECH: Packing Photography Gear post a few weeks ago: It seems that the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation--effective January 1, 2008--are limiting the number, size, and location of spare lithium batteries we can travel with... Chances are that if you're a traveling photographer, you fly with spare lithium-ion batteries for laptops, cameras, flashes, etc. They're the juice behind darn...

Speedlinks are supposed to be fast, but there's plenty of hot stuff to keep even someone with the attention span of a gnat glued to the screen for an hour, so choose your poison below.[Truth be told, I love piling all these disparate links/items in one post. There's some stuff here to peruse quickly, but there's also plenty on which to procrastinate, or to suck up...

Tis the season, eh?

PROBLEM: Traveling with cameras, lenses, lights, computers and all the rest of the gear that us photographers use these days can be a serious challenge. After all, this stuff is spendy and breakable, yet it needs to travel to the same places that photographers do to make great pictures.

Two words: Thanks. Giving. For USA readers, today is a holiday where we're encouraged to take pause from our daily grind and give thanks for the myriad of wonderful things in our lives. For the international readers, I'd encourage you to join in.I'll start with the THANKS portion.
