Hopefully you caught this popular post last quarter. And so it continues here with another review of the top lenses - this time of the top Nikon lenses - my preferred weapon of choice when shooting stills. You already know I rarely write about gear since there are entire websites dedicated to that sophistry but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a top request I get from you, so the way I mitigate... read more ›

One of the many things I love about Travis Rice is his refusal to be pegged into a single hole. Yes, he'll always be a snowboarding legend, but that athletic pursuit is powered by a creative, artistic soul, as evidenced in one way by his art gallery initiative, Asymbol, and in another by his on-going work with the Brain Farm cinema crew. When I had Travis on cjLIVE last year [re-watch here], he... read more ›

When the Nikon Df arrived on the scene a couple months back, I tried to temper the hype (my own included) with a good dose of high expectations. Yes, it looked bad ass. Yes, it housed the same sensor as the D4. Yes, the optical viewfinder has 100% field of view. But as a compact camera fiend and someone whose owned probably 50 cameras or more, I'm no pushover. So when Adorama shipped... read more ›

We may be in the age of digital downloads (behind that link is a nice present for you), but musicians and the designers behind them still care deeply about their cover art. After all - whichever way you slice it - that image evokes a narrative about the music, the artist and/or the album. So I was flattered -- and immediately on board -- when Mario Andreoni of !!! (pronounced/also written Chk Chk Chk) asked... read more ›

As some of you accurately guessed from this pic I posted to Twitter last week, we've been rocking out in Hong Kong for a shoot, adapting to an uncooperative weather situation (rain - lots of it), hanging out on the water and dining on some pretty dynamite dim sum. A few of you wondered if we were hooking up with our friends at DigitalRev. Maybe to do another lego camera shoot or show them how... read more ›

WARNING: CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME, ESPECIALLY PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE FELT THE PAIN OF GEAR LOSS. In the days before my trip to Iceland, I had the chance to play with the DJI Phantom, an affordable, out-of-the-box quadcopter for budding aerial videographers. As I establish in that test flight post, the footage you yield from the DJI Phantom + GoPro combo may not be pro quality, but it's perfectly... read more ›

What a way to end 2013 for chasejarvisLIVE. The show was amazing. Gary V brought the heat to discuss how you can break through the noise of the internet and get your work noticed. Are people not clicking on your photos? Are you you getting lost in the detritus of the internet? I've done a bunch of stuff with Gary like this, and this, and have wanted to have him on #cjLIVE for... read more ›
