The big record companies are struggling. Indie labels are struggling. The photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers who create album covers are NOT struggling. The music industry is an entirely different beast than it was a decade ago, but apparently musicians still believe in communicating what their album, as a whole, is all about with stunning visuals. Music seems more disposable and forgettable than ever with apps...

UPDATE: Argo wins for best picture! Love or hate the Academy, it's hard not to get a little swept up in the fever. And with the Oscars now behind us, it gives us a reason to ask "why did he/she/it win?" and disagree or agree with our co-workers at the water cooler for the next month. I was walking into the movies with Kate not too long ago and it occurred to me that of...

Every now and again I find myself tooling around Google Earth, scrolling this way and that along coastlines, across deserts and over mountains. I figure it's a compulsion more compelling than procrastination. Or it could just be a fascination with perspective. Rust-colored mountain tops, their peaks slightly concave, give way to the orange and green of the foothills. A DayGlo green reef encircles...

I'm a huge fan of Vivian Maier's work. When I heard that there was an exhibition of her work right in my backyard (over at PCNW) it made me want to share some insight. In this interview, Photo Center’s Rafael Soldi and Jeffrey Goldstein discuss the in’s and out’s of discovering, developing and managing this important collection. As a curator and an artist himself, Rafael is well-qualified to dive into this interview with fine art...

Back in December I did a post on How to Surf the World's Biggest Wave about Garrett McNamara's amazing feat in Nazare, Portugal. In May 2012 McNamara surfed a 78-foot monster into the record books and the video went viral. Some people might have kicked back and pursued some couch surfing after that type of achievement. But not McNamara. Just 2 days ago he did it again. And this wave was almost 3 stories bigger...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27MnyRXGqY&feature=youtu.be If you're a regular reader you know that I'm a big Lumineers fan. They’ve been on my radar for a while and are one of my favorites right now. My friend John Richards from Seattle's KEXP first brought The Lumineers to my attention. John, along with their manager Dave, gave me the head's up that these guys had the special sauce. So we had them on chasejarvisLIVE back in April 2012. It was a...

I originally met Kelly Starrett through my pal Tim Ferriss (cjLIVE episode here) - who had nothing but amazing things to say... Kelly is a coach, physical therapist, author, speaker, and creator of www.MobilityWOD.com, which has revolutionized how athletes think about human movement and athletic performance (and he's teaching a workshop with our friends over at creativeLIVE today btw.....) In fact, I remember that Tim told me he thought that Kelly could really "help me"....

I stumbled on this gem via Kickstarter a week or two ago and reached out to my camera tech pal Sohail to get his take. In short, we cranked out this review in short order to give you a first look AND... I've got another prototype en route to my studio now to put it thru the paces of an actual commercial job... Will report back again after all is said and done, but in...

In a virtual world full of fans, circles, followers and friends, today we celebrate the world's greatest follower: the sheep. Consider: A clever group of Welsh hill farmers dress their flock of unsuspecting sheep up in LED lights and -- with the help of some seriously talented/obedient/well-trained border collies -- create moving art on a hillside and film it from a distance. Check it out: http://youtu.be/D2FX9rviEhw Matt Smith, the co-founder of the ad agency The...
