Wanted to take a break for a hot second this morning -- away from studios and airplanes and shooting photos in far away places -- to make a special announcement and say a huge, ginormous thank you.

Wow. Two new cameras on my blog in one week (here's the other one). I've never been a gear whore and don't like dedicating too much real estate here to it, but I do like me some of these compact cameras. So here we go - quick like. Nikon got the aesthetics right, that's for sure. If it does nothing else, the new Nikon Df is going to make you look like a legit photographer... read more ›

You know I'm a fan of all things GoPro Hero 3+ since it dropped earlier this month. This vid is another reason to dig it. Tyler Johnson of GoPro uses an array of 24 GoPro Hero 3 cameras to film fire breather David Kelley doing his thing. And who doesn't love a GoPro array. We did one a short while back in this vid (see if you can spot it)...but this is a... read more ›

Let's face it... it's a complete myth that your work will just "be discovered" and that your personal brand just "happens." These are topics that simply cannot be reduced to sound bites and can't be left to happenstance. In case you missed last week's LIVE broadcast of chasejarvisLIVE, we brought on brand luminary Marc Ecko and spent a full 90 minutes uncovering the core principles of Marc's 20-year-long rocket ship of a career... read more ›

And for those of you who want to travel but don't think you have the means... allow me to (re-)introduce you to my pal Chris Guillebeau is a globe trotting, “self employed for life” hacker.

Snow cats. Flying cameras and world-class athletes. Couple-o-sunrises. One of the most unique locations I've found in my career (a coal mine?!) and a superfun campaign for one of the top mountain destinations in the world...here's behind the scenes for my most recent campaign to drop --> Aspen. This past March, you might have caught wind of my live updates while shooting the 2013-2014 campaign for my friends at Aspen/Snowmass ski resort. In... read more ›
