If you're looking for your next creative breakthrough or if you're in a job you hate and looking to make a change, this video from Dan Wieden of legendary Wieden + Kennedy agency in Portland is a worthy 15 min of your time. The intro is slow (a Portland love fest...) so skip in a few min if you're watching the clock. Here's what's in this video that I like: - dan is a really...

Apparently as a followup to my well-timed and very handy video I put out this week (check it), my favorite camera manufacturer today announced the launch of a new app. It's getting really slick my friendz. While you could control the Hero3 cameras with earlier version of the app (view - start -stop - etc) the newest version of the app allows you the same ability to control the camera, but you can...

This is a public service announcement that I think is valuable... I'm banking you know I'm co-founder over at creativeLIVE - where we've delivered more than 15 million viewer hours of creative education worldwide. (If you're new, here's stories about it in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, TechCrunch, AllThingsD, etc and stay tuned for my MSNBC segment coming in 2 weeks...) This is a short-notice opportunity to take advantage...

I've heard through your shout-outs + tweets + views + comments n such that most of you love what we're doing with music on #cjLIVE. Those of you who pay attention to the show might have noticed that we have been on a bit of a hot streak with new music over the past couple of years. Here's a few of my fav highlights from the very earliest moments of these now well-known musicians: _Macklemore...

I've been shooting religiously with GoPro cameras since they came out way back in the day. Love those little monsters. At a minimum, I travel with three or more Hero3's for any shoot - I've just found they just come in super-duper handy for all sortsa great stuff. BUT.... taking into account mounts, memory cards, chargers, spare batteries and all miscellany associated with the GoPro and you've got yourself quite a load of...

The name Travis Rice has for some time been synonymous with the best snowboarder in the world. Literally, of that caliber. Which for those more inclined to the details, that means insane big mountain snowboarding and epic snowboarding films and photoshoots all over the world (watch him on #cjLIVE here). While "artist" may not be a descriptor that comes to mind when one...

Contracts can be a nightmare. I've never loved contracts even for a hot second, but fortunately I've surrounded myself with an awesome Executive Producer who really likes them -- Kate (she's also my wife), and a great lawyer or two. We know what a pain point this can be for creatives everywhere, so we sat down and pulled together a series of 15 tips aimed to help you navigate these messy waters. We know legal...

Quick share here..... a short while back I took my very first trip to Belize for what turned into a really, really (2 reallys - or now that's three) high value, pain-free shoot. I've been so very lucky to have shot in some of the most spectacular places in the world -- and just added Belize to that list. We banged out a fun BTS vid to share some of the splendor, but...

You may recall a few weeks back I released a video of the behind-the-scenes action for a cool gig I was asked to create for Samsung around their Series 9 Color Premium monitors. It was a dream job in a lot of ways. For one, I got to literally photograph a re-creation of my dreams; for two, on jobs like that I get the opportunity to rub elbows with the best crew ---cinematographers,...

I didn't talk about it much, but over the past month I lost two close family members in 48 hours. My grandmother passed away on Mother's Day and my wife Kate's grandmother passed away 2 days later. Neither was expected. As you might imagine, it was a crushing week (and following month) for our family. And now not a day goes by that I don't think about them. More importantly, I've had a real chance...
