I have decided to add video to the blog.  I hope that these videos will help teach, inform, and inspire you to get out and start making some awesome images!  So please, enjoy the videos.

I have chosen three videos to kick off the “Watch This” section.  All three videos I picked are from Chase Jarvis.  Chase is a commercial photographer out of Seattle, Washington.

This behind-the-scenes video is action-packed with Ninjas, smoke, weapons, and a cool location.  ”Storytelling, creative innovation, and visual voodoo—no matter the medium—make my heart go thump thump; and sharing all this online with the world, plus as much of my professional experience as I can muster, makes my soul sing”(Chase Jarvis).  His work, simply put, is awesome!  Enjoy!

This video from Chase shows how he mounts cameras in various positions to get the “Point-of-View” for the shot.  Since I am a mountain biker, this video brought back many memories of how we would sit around trying to come up with ways to mount video and stills.  It’s so much easier these days for mounting cameras.

The last video of this post is a very important one for someone who is about to travel with photo gear.  It can be challenging to get your gear from one place to another, especially if your flying out of the continental U.S.  This video will help you organize, choose the right bag or case, and travel more safely and efficiently to your destination.  Towards the end of the video, have your pen and paper ready because Chase gives you some excellent info on how to get your equipment a “Passport”(www.atacarnet.com), documentation through the government, and helpful tips from the TSA(www.tsa.gov).  I just wish that this video was around when I started going to Ecuador.  It would have been so helpful.
