AWARENESS. Awareness is the secret to finding beauty. Recently Kate and I took a quick trip to a small island off the coast of Seattle called Vashon to visit two of our good friends Michael and Angel...I was vlogging the trip. While reviewing the footage, I noticed myself noticing / saying how "beautiful" this or that was, noticing small details in they way something looked or smelled ... like 50 times. In short, it started...

My dear friend Lewis Howes recently asked me a damn good question. If you could - what would you tell your younger self? My answer sucked. But he told me HIS answer and I thought his answer was a good one... So good in fact that I wished I'd had learned the lessons much much earlier in life. I tried to write this in my own voice, but since the list and story weren't mine...

You guys have heard me talking about my early lifelong love of activity and sports like skateboarding, skiing, football, and even going to college on a soccer scholarship. Coming from an athletic background, I always considered myself pretty active. Yet, the truth is, once I started building my photography career in action sports I put my entire focus in that and the majority of my movement came from my work. Even though my career is...

Live from the CES show in Las Vegas yesterday Nikon paraded out their new babies for all the geeks and journalists. As a face for Nikon long before there was such a thing (I know - hard to remember that far back) and core to launching new cameras for them (like this and this, I long lived at the heart...

So grateful for all the feedback on the last #cjRAW. Went vlog style for the Stolen Golf Cart + Other Life Lessons vid and got great feedback (with, of course, one hater ;) As such - given the fun I had making the last one, the success of that approach, plus some free time early in this new year and I thought I'd follow up that with another vlog episode here... This time - of...

I live by hard work + hustle -- they are some of the key elements to my success and the successes of so many of my peers... but so is recovery. One cannot live at 100mph. One cannot ALWAYS be on a diet, be in peak performance. Rest is mandatory. We either choose to find it in appropriate doses OR our bodies an our lives will choose it for us (crash and burn, get sick,...

Calling all maker geeks, photo geeks, and audiophiles - this one is for you. Yes yes, I regularly champion experience over stuff, but the reality is also true that we creators use tools to create. As such, in today's #cjRAW I shine a bright little light on 3 tech tools that caught my eye. One for the geeky geeks, one for the photo geeks, and a third for the audiofile / video geeks. Glowforge When...

HA! You asked for another #cjRAW behind-the-scenes photo/video shoot...and so I'm DELIVERING! That's right, in this episode of #cjRAW, I take you on location to photograph SERENA WILLIAMS, ROGER FEDERER and half dozen more of the BEST TENNIS STARS IN THE WORLD (while shooting a campaign for Wilson Tennis). Working smoothly with pro athletes or celebrities or otherwise fancy people on set is under-recognized, but highly valuable skill. Put bluntly - it is almost always...
