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...

A NO BRAINER. When someone comes to you and asks you if you'd like to create a photograph of your most vivid dream on their dime -- let's be clear on this one -- you say YES. Such was the case with Samsung and their creative agency Possible several weeks back. I got one of "those cool phone calls" where all your hard work comes into focus just for a second.

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...

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...

Photo geeks and space nerds unite. Saw this and had to share it. This is the first time mankind has ever seen the planet Mercury in its entirety. Scientists used thousands of images collected for over a year by the MESSENGER probe to completely map the surface of the planet, taken at a resolution of 1km per pixel. The yellow-orange sections are highly volcanic lava plains, and the dark blue areas are assumed to be...

Dove has been running "Real Beauty" ads for more than a decade. Their agency Ogilvy in Toronto cam up with a pretty dope hack/secret weapon to raise awareness with photo re-touchers, art directions and designers to reconsider the messaging that they and their clients are promoting by thinning, coloring and generally adding or subtracting to women's bodies for benefit of advertising to the masses. By disguising a desirable Photoshop action in popular blogs Dove has...

I have been a long-time, huuuuge proponent of taking time to pursue personal work. Its in fact my pursuit of personal work to which I attribute a good bit of my success.

No one has single-handedly given me better insight about the business side of art/photography than New York Times best-selling author, Ramit Sethi. As artists, if we want to make a living with our work, we - like it or not - must foster our business/entrepreneurial skills, we must realize the value of our work, and we must know how to get paid. In this tight little guest post,...
