Today is October 10, 2010...or if you’re sharper than me, that would be 10.10.10. And today all across the world, documentary filmmakers, students and inspired people like you are organizing to record the human experience during this 24 hour period and contribute a voice to what looks to be the largest participatory media event in history. Every country in the world--190 something--are participating, as well as nearly every major NGO...with cameras even being dropped into...

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of the world in my relatively short life. I’ve hiked, camped, climbed, and adventured plenty on most of the continents. I’ve gone to some pretty remote places and seen some pretty remarkable stuff, but I’ve rarely been as connected to the earth as much as I’ve been in the past week. Being plucked from my daily life, the mayhem of a modern age, and then dropped into a...

If you're doing something that's never been done before, how can you make the perfect plan? Whether it's an art concept, a picture, a business model, or a meal: you can't. Innovation, by definition, has no road map. Important: the same goes with creativity. That's why I like people who "do" and fail, a helluva lot more than people who just sit around and talk about it. Randy Nelson of Pixar says it...

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in to the sharing of my experiences with the new Nikon D7000 camera in this post here, where I featured the behind the scenes video and a new short film: Benevolent Mischief. It just so happens that I've been sitting on another little nugget since then that I'm excited to share today: the Benevolent Mischief REMIX featuring MC Victor Shade and MTK. Without losing you in...

Without a doubt, one of our most popular posts of 2010 has been this post where we outline in detail our photo and video workflow from capture to delivery of digital assets to clients. Every step is included in that post or video, but EVEN THEN we had a huge number of questions about it. As in hundreds and hundreds. Questions that are important and deserve answers. That's the reason we've decided to dedicate an...

A while back I got call from the Nikon mothership which put the very first HDdSLR--the Nikon D90--into my hands months before the world had seen that technology. I won’t ever forget that experience. That little camera kicked off this whole craze of photo and video convergence that we’re swimming in today. Well...low and behold, a few months ago I got another one of those calls from Nikon. “Chase-san. We have a new...

Why is it that our society clearly celebrates the chance takers, yet we rarely encourage one another to take chances--especially those people closest to us? Almost all your favorite artists quit the traditional to pursue their dreams. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college to pursue their passions. Regardless if you wanna be in art, or film, or accounting, or a pro athlete, the story is the same. Go tell your husband that...

Last week when I announced my newest book, Seattle 100: Portrait of a City, I promised to blog, vlog, report and otherwise share the behind-the-scenes process of what it's been like so far in taking this project to print AND what's going on in these final weeks prior to the official "launch". Lots to report. My hope is that this can help anybody who is heading into a book project or perhaps considering...

Like yesterday's repost of Jasmine Star, I've had a giant volume of requests asking to repost THIS recent episode of chasejarvisLIVE with National Geographic photographer of Food and Culture AND Barnaby Dorfman, Foodista.com's founder and CEO, to my YouTube channel. It's my pleasure to get it out there for those who missed it live. Penny DeLosSantos is a force of nature, having traveled the world over on assignments targeting food and culture. Hear...
