This work deserves a more in depth sharing at a later date, but in short I've done some recent work with the(RED) project around new ways to document, cultivate and otherwise further explore the intersection of music with film & photography. Things beyond the music video, honestly. Real integration, raw integration that sprouts up organically or from small, simple roots. The particular work I was doing on the day we shot the above was literally... read more ›

Quick diversion from the normal banter here... What goes well with the holidays and photo books? Wine and chocolate. Wine and chocolate? Hopefully you're aware of my latest photo book project, Seattle 100: Portrait of City (hardback 10x10" 240 pages, 300 photographs - all my proceeds go to non-profit www.4culture.org).

I'm pumped to bring two new episodes of chasejarvisLIVE to your desktop this week. I hope you'll tune in to join me. First, tomorrow I'll be hosting my good friend, one-light guru, photo instructor, and the best beard around: Zack Arias. We're bringing Zack to Seattle for his creativeLIVE workshop, and I'm stealing an hour of his time before hand to talk shop in my studio. Think Barbara Walters meets Jon Stewart meets Photography (meets... read more ›

Friends: It's the weekend and I'm focused on some personal stuff that could use your help if you're willing.
