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...

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....

I recently got a flood of questions via Twitter asking about developing a personal photographic style, which made me think about a million conversations I've had with my photographer buddies over the years... And I was wishing I had recorded those. And then I remembered that I DID have one that I recorded from an old chasejarvis LIVE with my pal Zack Arias. He's a fun guy, great shooter and very talented photography instructor. Here's...

You might recall my recent post in the wake of the London riots, where we discuss photographer Amy Weston capturing a woman jumping from a burning building here. I've been in those situations a few of times, even though I'm not a photojournalist by trade and I raised the question of whether I should be shooting or helping. Lots of debate ensued, with the most common answers being...

A while back I had Grammy Award Winner, Sir Mix-A-lot on chasejarvisLIVE. The guy is smart - dropped some pretty serious knowledge on the show [here's the re-watch if you missed it]. At the end of the show, I shot the cover for his upcoming album, live, online. Here are the results. The lead one that shows his face is my fav, but there's plenty of debate, because the other shot is tough and mysterious....

Two weeks ago I announced a labor of love collaboration project (plus some behind the scenes photos...) that's been underway for the past few months. It’s a group art show called Made in Polaroid 50 | 50 | 50 - top artists from photography, painting, graffiti, filmmaking, design, theater, acting, sculpture and more all have come together to raise money for Free Arts NYC, a nonprofit that provides under-served kids and families with art education,...

Lots of people would have called Chris Jordan crazy to leave a career as a well-paid attorney to pursue a career as a fine art photographer with a cause-based mission to document the human impact on the world. That is, they would have called him crazy, until they saw his work and the impact that work is having. Gallery shows, museums, speaking gigs, documentary films, and moving the world to action. That's why you must...
