As many of you who are regular readers know, I am longtime friend (and fan of course) of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Ben (Macklemore) and I get coffee at the same joint. He has played dinner parties at my studio and he and Ryan deployed a magical performance on chasejarvisLIVE among other things over the years. But it is with a special appreciation that I've been attuned their meteoric rise to the top of the... read more ›

In this episode of chasejarvisLIVE I sat down with legendary photographer Chris Buck and hosted special musical guest Hey Marseilles.

By applying a playful, twisted fine art mentality to celebrity photography (and his commercial work) Chris has created some of the most interesting work I've seen. He is truly one of my all-time favs. We talked about everything under the sun, including his... read more ›

Ryan Holiday is a media genius who promotes, inflates and hacks some of the biggest names and brands in the world. He’s also the Director of Marketing for American Apparel. Oh, and he’s just 25 years old. His point-of-view is enlightening when it comes to understanding today's complex media landscape. You might remember that I had him on chasejarvisLIVE last year. Since then his book 'Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator' has... read more ›

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... read more ›

Ian Ruhter and his crew brought the world's largest mobile camera to chasejarvisLIVE to share the process of wetplate photography with us. Ian's project has attracted a ton of attention and is a great example of the power of personal work. He transformed his life to follow his dream to do something different in photography. He is living the mantra of doing... read more ›
