Had this fun Chase Jarvis FRAMES buried in an earlier post and it was suggested by some smart friends that I give it a unique post url, like all the other vids. It made sense, so here it is. Apologies if you caught it the first time around. In the event you missed it, this vid features 3954 still frames of skiers and snowboarders ripping deep pow and hucking their meat around the slopes....

People write in regularly, daily, asking how to "make it" as a photographer. For one--respectfully--I've never had the vision to be able to jot down my life's work in recipe format in an email. If I could summarize it in a few sentences, I certainly would have done that blog post a long time ago. For two, I read a great piece today written by a Court Crandall of the Los Angeles agency, Ground Zero,...

For the first time, I’m publishing a book of photographs to share directly with the public, and it is available right now.

I learned to ski at Stevens Pass 30 years ago and have been...

I've been shooting sports and action images with a tilt/shift lens for about 5 years. It's a fun look for certain applications. Not long after, my buddy Vincent got really excited about shooting the ol' t/s from the air. Another cool look. Now you've seen us both shooting video through dSLRs with them - mine on the Nikon D90 and his on the Canon 5D MKII. We've been having fun goofing off with these things....

I was surprised to recently learn that, just like Hollywood celebs have their kooky mathematical rankings on "box office power" or whatever, visual artists are also apparently not immune to a ranking system. Over at Artfacts.Net, they seem to have a reasonably sophisticated algorithm that ranks heavy hitting visual artists. Andy Warhol is #1. There are two photographers in the top 20. Can you guess them?

The Senate has just passed a version of the Orphan Works bill (officially the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act, S 2913) that is bad for our profession. We need to make sure that it does not pass the House and, therefore, we need your help. If you have not yet done so, visit the ASMP's Orphan Works page.

Diabetes_Fences. From my Songs for Eating and Drinking project. I mentioned in a recent post that I'd soon be occasionally including personal work shots here in a photoblog style. Well, here we go. I'll supply some photographs and you can supply some words or questions in the comments below if you like. I'm excited to be sharing these little personal gems amidst the normal blog stuff. Two more images related to this one after the...

I don't do this too often, but I'm in need of some favors. I'm reaching out to see if you or anyone you know has access to a 1974-1977 Cadillac Fleetwood, similar to the one pictured here. I need to rent/borrow it for a 2-day shoot next week in Seattle, so timeline is very short. Color is optional, but silver or dark preferred. Must be functioning. I will pay you and lavish you with praise,...

What's in a photographers portfolio is often there for intensely personal reasons. It could also be argued, on the other hand, that intensely personal reasons have no place in a professional photographer's portfolio. As a part of my search for personal clarity on this topic, and in an attempt to better understand my own demons and heroes with portfolio image selection, I recently asked for your feedback on my online portfolio. Anyone who was interested...
