In my last chasejarvisTECH piece you got a peek at the gear I packed away for the 19,000 foot climb up Kilimanjaro for the Summit on the Summit. There were more than a few comments on how much "stuff" went with me.

Before the Internet made sourcing new music and rising bands a simple matter of keystrokes, bookmarks and RSS feeds, there was the radio DJ. Those with an insatiable thirst for the fresh and undiscovered relied on the savvy DJ with the right connections to feed us a steady diet of the up and coming, the unsigned, the ones-to-keep-an-eye-on. For the unsigned and undiscovered, it was said DJ who provided the air time, created the buzz...

A NO BRAINER. When someone comes to you and asks you if you'd like to create a photograph of your most vivid dream on their dime -- let's be clear on this one -- you say YES. Such was the case with Samsung and their creative agency Possible several weeks back. I got one of "those cool phone calls" where all your hard work comes into focus just for a second.

They say that when you leave your old life behind and walk the path you're meant to be on, be prepared to leave some friends behind, and be prepared to make new ones. This has definitely been the case on my own personal path. When I finally ditched the things in my life that everyone else wanted me to do and began a fulltime charge of my life's dream of being an artist, it put...

Teton Gravity Research Aerial Reel - The Bay Area in 4K from Teton Gravity Research on Vimeo. Fancy gimbals are the rage these days and I love 'em all. Not withstanding some homies of mine from my action sports days, Teton Gravity Research, recently announced a partnership with Gyro Stabilized-Systems and launched the GSS C520, a game-changing 4K camera platform that makes that footy that you and I shoot look like sh*t in comparison.

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to be part of an expedition to bring greater awareness to the scarcity of fresh drinking water experienced by many countries around the world. Called Summit on the Summit, the expedition was a 60 mile hike up Kilimanjaro and included some artists, educators and guides who shared my interest in this awareness project, including Mark Foster, Justin Chatwin and Beau Garrett. I put together this...

They have been touring non-stop and sold millions of downloads their #1 hit song Thriftshop from the incredible album The Heist. They have appeared on Jay...

I don't know what you were doing when you were 11, but I know I wasn't directing movies. Hell, I wasn't even standing in front of that pool. Trinity Anderson, on the other hand, has jumped into the deep end and seems to managing just fine, thank you. The 11-year-old and her father, Barry Anderson, are wrapping up production on her latest stop-motion film (a genre she's been at since she was 4) and have...

Photo geeks and space nerds unite. Saw this and had to share it. This is the first time mankind has ever seen the planet Mercury in its entirety. Scientists used thousands of images collected for over a year by the MESSENGER probe to completely map the surface of the planet, taken at a resolution of 1km per pixel. The yellow-orange sections are highly volcanic lava plains, and the dark blue areas are assumed to be...
