Sundance part 3…

When I met Chase at the Tweethouse at Sundance, he was introduced to me as a photographer. I don’t know a whole lot about the photography world, but I did recognize him from a short film he did for the Nikon Festival:

Chase is an absolute BEAST behind the lens, an artist’s artist. Take a look at his portfolio and you’ll recognize a lot of his amazing commercial work, and his Songs for Eating and Drinking is a concept unto itself. He and his table guru friend Michael Hebb serve dinner and drinks for some incredibly talented musicians, where they perform songs for each other, artist to artist, just like the old days before they had audiences to play for. I can only imagine the conversations that took place. See it through Chase’s eyes at www.songsforeatinganddrinking.com

By the way, his iPhone app “Best Camera” will help improve YOUR photos. And it doesn’t end there www.thebestcamera.com

Do yourself a favor and spend an hour on his website and you’ll be both inspired and humbled. www.chasejarvis.com This vid just gives you a taste:

Sundance was incredible. I waited 5 years to play there because I wanted my first time there to be meaningful, and it certainly was. For the first time in a while I’ve got thoughts I’d like to share that can’t be contained in 140 characters; trust me that’s rare these days. So my next few blog entries will be dedicated to cool people and things that have happened at Sundance.

First and foremost, G-Technology by Hitachi

It’s always a great thing when you can work with a company that you already admire. I’ve relied on G-Technology drives since they released their 500GB beast, and 10+ TB later they still haven’t failed me. So it was a pretty easy decision to go to Sundance with them. How cool is this exclusive G-drive Mobile package?

Does that face look familiar? It also includes a video mashup I did specially for Sundance. Win. On top of that, my live performance was streamed and viewers won drives. Double win. As I got to know them, I came to find out that they are also great supporters of some amazing artists and projects. Take it all in at www.g-technology.com

They’ve also done a great job documenting some very interesting Sundance panels, premieres, and people on their YouTube channel.
