As any regular Redditor knows, the internet is made of cats. They've been with us since the days of the Egyptians - although nowadays they have their own reality shows. What is it with these damn cats? As the collection of images below indicates, cats have played the role of creative muses in the lives of some pretty famous creatives, including Dali, Picasso and Warhol....

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. It's all relative I suppose, but when you get down to it that was a fairly bare-bone operation for a job that still yielded high-end results. As you see in this...

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...

Earlier in the week I shared my gear list for the hike up Kilimanjaro with Summit on the Summit. While on the mountain I snapped off a slew of panoramas and sent them to my buddy Mark, who does digital retouching with his company PARADOX VISUAL. I wanted him to build a BIIIIIG panorama that could be auctioned off for Summit on the Summit. And when I'm talking big, I'm talking 4 feet tall and...

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...

I had the distinct pleasure of being a guest on Jenni Hogan's "Next Big Thing" podcast a couple weeks ago to talk a bit about my life path(s), pivot points and the way that creativeLIVE is systematically re-shaping access to the best education. For those who don't know Jenni, she's a super smart, sharp journalist who has a passion for connecting with like-minded people who impact, inspire and inform. Equally at home in the worlds...

A recent NPR story "Why Politicians Want Children to be Seen and Heard" spoke to the effectiveness of children as political messengers. Federal gun law supporters use images of children to play on the emotions of the masses. "Save Our Children" and all that jazz. Annoying as hell to get 'used'. But real. And effective stuff, no doubt. Children have long been the fodder of photogs. Back in January...

The phrase "Old school" can't do justice to New York photographer Matt Schwartz's methodology. Lugging around an 8x10 Polaroid camera to shoot stylized surf-themed pics (that are pretty easy on the eyes) that could pass as faded stills from unused Endless Summer clips, Schwartz has eschewed the conveniences of the modern camera and smart phone camera apps for an approach that has never let him down. That he does it without commercial motivation may be...
