If you’ve been following me for any length of time, then you most likely know my M.O. by now: put your work out there early and often. Steve Martin famously said, “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” But the other side of that is to have so much work out there that people can't swing a stick without hitting something you've made/written/built/produced/directed/etc. I talked about this with fellow sharing advocate, #cjLIVE alum, and all-around... read more ›

Switch It Up: On the Other Side of the Lens with Cassey Ho.

Switch It Up Chase Jarvis
I've spent most of my life behind the camera, but I occasionally end up out in front of it too.

Yesterday's scout was epic. After waking at 3:55am Seattle time, flying Seattle >> Denver >> Aspen we arrived and hiked our asses up to 12,395 feet of elevation. Sea level to 12 grand in a few hours. Good for the heart and mind - hard on the lungs. Our scout + the weather report (scheduled for perfect sunshine) yielded information... read more ›
