The title of this post is ripped directly from the title of a short must-read book, written by Saatchi & Saatchi Creative Director legend, Paul Arden.Here's three pieces of advice from this book:1. Do not seek praise, seek criticism. "It is quite easy to get approval if we ask enough people, or those who are likely to to say what we want to hear. The likelihood is that they will say nice things rather than...

Just follow me on Twitter (@chasejarvis) and keep your eyes peeled for an occasional flurry of tweets outlining a place and a time. You’ll have...

You may have already seen this, but in case you missed it...If you've ever doubted that photo/imaging/video was going to integrate really nicely with the web, then think again, and take a peek at this: No, no, no, not my dumb arse there off to the side...take a look at the image. It's more than a stupid cartoon and my stupid face. What you're looking at is my screen grab of a digital hologram. I...

Thanks to public outcry, Facebook today retracted their "new" terms of service--which generated an appropriately huge outcry--and reverted to their previous terms. This is of interest to me, seeing that I've got a good bit of content on my Facebook page.Their previous terms were pretty aggressive in their own right, claiming: "You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream,...

In full disclosure, I’m probably not the best person to pay attention to for stellar direct mail promo pieces. We did score a PDN Self-Promo award back in 2006 with this piece, but outside of that, I haven’t historically had a cohesive plan about this sort of stuff. And so it continues here today. But that's not stopping me from wanting to share them. Actually, I’m proud to say that this is my...

[Note: I'm excited today to announce a new element to this here blog: monthly guest posts from my badass staff. Since each of them are experts in their own right, I figured you'd be interested in hearing some different perspectives. Today, Scott takes the reins and raps about our push for visual impact over "perfection" and how stock photography gives him the willies. Round of applause, please...take it away Scotty...]We keep a lot of irons...

Just wanted to break up the pace today and share a couple of links that I recently plucked from my inbox. Where it used to be just still images and portfolios that were sent my way by readers, it's now often personal projects that engage a mixture of stills, moving images, and audio/music. And everyone knows I'm an advocate of personal projects... Without my intending, it seems that each of the three I posted below...

[Update: the video hummed along nicely for about 24 hours, however sometime late Saturday/early Sunday the embedded video stopped playing here, presumably due to Facebook bandwidth constraints/large traffic volumes. We reposted and it was just more of the same. They're still serving it to my Facebook page if you're interested in checking it out there.]Whew! Just wrapped the first ever (I'm told) national ad campaign shot with the Nikon D3x. What an absolute beaut of...

You should know that the above video is not my typical video. Sure it’s a Chase Jarvis RAW - the series where I normally show a bunch of behind the scenes footage from a shoot - but this is different because, while this certainly is the backstage of “a shoot,” there are ultimately no models, no cameras, no lighting, no wardrobe or props anywhere to be found in this video. Huh? I understand that...
