Thanks to all of you wrote in after seeing Laura’s Story when I announced the refreshed www.chasejarvis.com last week (check it). This video is sorta buried in my new Portfolios section, but many of you seemed to unearth it and find intrigue in it too, so I’m following your lead/request to chuck it out here on the blog to facilitate some sharing and/or discussion.What is it? It’s a short video piece about my friend... read more ›

You may have already seen this, but in case you missed it...If you've ever doubted that photo/imaging/video was going to integrate really nicely with the web, then think again, and take a peek at this: No, no, no, not my dumb arse there off to the side...take a look at the image. It's more than a stupid cartoon and my stupid face. What you're looking at is my screen grab of a digital hologram. I... read more ›

The photography industry is really focused on the ‘industry’ part and not so much on the ‘photography’ part. This is the greatest moment in the history of photography if your dream is to distribute as much photography as possible to as many people as possible, or if your goal is to make it as easy as possible to become seen as a photographer.

I wanted to share with you three interviews I've recently given... This stuff normally lives on the press page where it can be a touch more shameless, but I've been buried all week and was looking for some low hanging fruit. Plus, I wanted to call these out because you should consider visiting the sites of each of these interviewers. They're all utter gentlemen who are putting out lots of great content for the photography... read more ›

This is of interest to me, seeing that I've got a good bit of content on my Facebook page.Their previous terms were pretty aggressive in their own right, claiming: "You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream,... read more ›

Lots of blogs come and go, but of note this week are two... One coming, the other, well, we're not sure.First, liveBooks--known globally for their custom photography websites--humbly but proudly joined the online discussion last Tuesday by launching a new blog titled RESOLVE. (I've been a liveBooks fan for some time, having switched over to their smooth setup late in 2007 after being impressed by their ability to serve up big photos, and fast.) Their... read more ›

They've been hinting at it for some time now, butPocketWizard radio slaves just one minute ago announced a completely refreshed product offering aimed at continuing to dominate the photographic airwaves radiowaves. And they've spoiled us. Check out the Mini TT1 transmitter and the Flex TT5 transceiver pictured above.It's no secret that I've been using their stuff religiously as long as I've been using remote flashes and cameras.
