You've heard me say it before - don't sink all your effort into being incrementally better. Instead be DIFFERENT. Be BOLD. This episode of chasejarvisLIVE was focused specifically on this simple idea. And my special guests for this episode epitomize this 'different' and 'bold' mantra as well as anyone I know. Like all of my guests, these guys aren't ensconced in the "this is how it is" photo industry - they're innovators from a parallel...

The zombie phenomenon has slowly gathered steam over the last few decades, culminating in hundreds of movies, comic books, and TV shows. The fanatical zombie fanbase produces a staggering amount of content every year - fan fiction, films, web series... and photographs. "Zombies" are an ideal subject matter for the exploratory photographer: they present colors and scenarios not necessarily experienced on a normal photoshoot....

With the utmost respect and humility I wanted to share this collection of images of the devastation wreaked upon the East Coast by Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy. "Clobbered" was the headline in this morning Seattle Times, referring to Sandy, the "Super Storm," that's pounding the northeast. I just saw images and read a figure that there may well be 20-90 billion in damages as well as continued loss of...

Here's another joint from the Capitol Hill Block Party episode of chasejarvisLIVE we hosted back in July. Fresh Espresso is the delightfully dope combo of P Smoov and Rik Rude. These Michigan natives have been bringing beats to Seattle with their many musical collaborations for years. Most notably the MCs have mixed it up with P Smoov's other well-known Seattle group Mad Rad. On Fresh Espresso's latest album, Bossalona, P Smoov makes the beats, raps,...

Even as I write that title, I cringe. To call the destruction of a once lush wilderness "beautiful" is to walk the line between neutrality and complicity. And to be clear, I am neither. The Tar Sands project in Alberta has claimed 141,000 square kilometers of Alberta, Canada, and turned forest into a toxic landscape of oily ponds and scarred earth that stretches to the horizon. Climate change photographer Ashley Cooper documented the Tar Sands...

If the best camera is the one that's with us, the camera phone wins for me (iPhone in particular, but I'm excited for all models). But let's take a departure for a second, because just minutes ago Phil Schiller announced the new iPad mini. // 7.9 inch diagonal screen // A5 dual core chip // Facetime HD // 5MP iSight Camera // LTE wireless...

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind…" So began every episode for the famous Twilight Zone series. And so should a viewer be forewarned when gazing upon the surrealist images of Jay Mark Johnson. For these truly are an exploration into another dimension. [Now that you are forewarned, go ahead and browse through his work...

In the process of drooling over my iPhone 5, I got the inside line on two new photo apps that I love and want to share... Lightt and Mirrorgram. First, is.... Lightt Lightt is perhaps THE breakout photo app that splits the difference between photos and video better than I've ever seen in mobile, while nailing the best of both worlds (ala some of my chasejarvisFRAMES videos but in created in your hand on the...
