This video which seems to have been released by Houston Mayor Annise Parker as a part of the...ahem... Run, Hide, Fight series is nuts. I understand the need for awareness and diligence toward creeps (not just in the USA and not just terrorists) but this ummm "awareness" is over the top - particularly with regard to photographers. After watching the video and others in the series, there are basically two groups that appear... read more ›

For one, IMHO it's some of our most beautiful footage and one of the best sounding of any chasejarvisLIVE to date - we're getting pretty tight on our capture because we're having a blast. For two - and more importantly-- in addition to Zoe Keating and her cello making some... read more ›
