---- UPDATE: Some of you have already heard the news...As such wanted to confirm here that our musical guest for the Wednesday, October 26 is the amazing MACKLEMORE with DJ Ryan Lewis (we went behind the scenes on a recent music vid with them here...). They're perhaps the fastest rising hiphop act in the country, recently packing the Bumbershoot Main Stage with more than 10,000 fans. They'll be a part of a Q&A...

Someone just sent this to me. "Chase Jarvis has a Pre Production Canon 5d Mark III". Yeah, I guess that makes it true... (guessing it's the handy detective work of Dave @ Learning dSLR video).

I'm sitting in the green room right now about to take the stage with Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch down here in LA. By the time you're reading this, I've just announced a new tablet form of Photoshop called Photoshop Touch (coming to iOS!!). As I sit here running through the script for the show that's live in 5 minutes, I stumbled upon a thought that is both sweet and bizarre. It's this: The psd image...

Hey friends. Erik the video guy here. We’ve had a bunch of YOUR questions come in about what gear/process/technique we used to make the Dasein docu-short we posted a couple days ago so I thought I’d chime in with a quick gear- and technique-specific follow up on how this film was made. First, Chase was the director on the project but wanted to remain focused simply on the overall look and feel. Plus, since he...

The following is a transcription excerpt from a conversation a while back on #cjLIVE between yours truly and my dear friend, Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and filmmaker Vincent Laforet where we discuss gear, professional career, creative vision and more. We've got it on video (link at end of this post), but I think the transcript is nice because you can skim the conversation in just a couple minutes. And there are some nuggets in there...

Thanks to the couple hundred of you who took a stab at breaking down the image I nabbed of Prince Manvendra [note that this thumbnail here is a crop, not the final...go to the original post to see that one]. A couple of you nailed it to varying degrees. Here’s my breakdown of the image: First, one thing I think you'd find interesting with this image is that I had less than 5 minutes including...

Looking for a weekend project for your photo studio? Alrighty then. Thoroughly amused at the approach taken here in this vid by folks at EyeHandy, having mostly naked model Ashley showing us how to make a cyc wall. Funny though, if you can get past the scantily clad builder using power tools (not sure why you'd want to do that...but....), the truth is that the actual info here on how to build a...

Seems that a new guerrilla campaign by Olympus in Australia is talking shit about the "rubbish" photos from your camera phone. "If you're camera also sends text messages, that will explain why your photos are rubbish." Plaques in select Aussie cities bearing the above slogan have been pasted to the street and other urban environs, with the url GetARealCamera.com linking to Olympus. Personally, the message bugs...

Y'all are well aware of my relationship and long-time love affair with Polaroid. Well, back when the film went out of manufacturing, a now-friend of mine Dr. Florian Kaps took on a project that some called impossible--the resurrection of the old-style instant films. He bought up the last Polaroid film factory in the Netherlands and has succeeded in bringing back instant film from a near death. This video--looks to be a TV short...
