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...

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...

I was in Paris last week. Part work, but mostly fun. Eating, drinking, being merry, and of course, snapping photos my iPhone--as I do everyday--with no end goal beyond staying creatively engaged. I was just now kicking through photos from the trip and stumbled on a couple of snapshots I thought were interesting for various reasons. I’ve posted stuff like this before and was really excited by the resulting discussion, so I figured I'd throw...
