Don't view this as endorsement of kids smoking, tobacco or any of that shiznit. But these photos will make you look twice, guarenteed. Regardless of if it's social, political or commercial, or otherwise, it's very effective art. This is smart, powerful, horrible.

She asks, "does this ban treat adults like children who can’t willfully... read more ›

While I was in Asia last week, I got a update note from my talented, activist photographer friend, Chris Jordan, with a link to the below, powerful, heartwrenching clip... He's making progress on his feature documentary at midway. NOTE: this content is emotive and graphic. It shows the last moments--literally the last breaths--of a dying albatross. If this might bother you, do not watch it. If, on the other hand, you have the ability to... read more ›

"I can’t get over the feeling that pictures taken with a camera in a phone that everyone owns [iphone] have no value." - Excerpt from APhotoEditor, Drowning in Photography Sorry APE, forgive me for being prescriptive, but you'd better get over that feeling. Just because "everyone's doing it" -- because there are a lot of photos out there in the world -- doesn't mean photography is headed for the shitter. Two counter points cutting through... read more ›

Me and/or my crew have been in Paris, NYC, LA, Seattle, and Salt Lake City in the past 10 days alone. Given that sort of schedule, we don't always have time/ability to cut together a chasejarvisLIVE re-watch (that's why you should always watch live), but this was an absolute must. It was an epic show. Chryde, founder of amazing La Blogotheque/Take Away Shows, was our first guest all the way from Paris. He... read more ›

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 once bumped into Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive walking out the front door at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino. Almost literally bumped into them. I had my head buried in a text message on my iPhone. I looked up. Mr. Ive held the door open for me as I passed through on the way in before I really knew what was up. He and Jobs passed through on the way out just behind me.... read more ›
