RSS FeedPhotographer Chase Jarvis aims to make artists of us all
THERE IT IS, the perfect shot: 72-year-old world explorer Helen Thayer stands mighty on the rim of a meadow at her farm outside Snohomish, snow-dusted Mount Pilchuck piercing the slate-colored clouds behind her like a soundstage version of a Northwest idyll.
The sun pokes through, washing the scene in golden beams.
"Epic, beautiful," gushes photographer Chase Jarvis, who's come here to shoot a commercial about risk and retirement planning for Russell Investments.
Jarvis lives for moments like this.
As a professional photographer and as a visual artist known for capturing the explosive physicality of athletes and the sweeping panoramas of far-flung landscapes, he specializes in the iconic.
It's a cliché to say that you gain a better perspective on your world when you view it from a distance, but it's true in the case of Seattle native Jarvis.
That's certainly the case with the Seattle 100, a yearlong project that showcases some of the most compelling cultural figures and tastemakers you've probably never heard of, or thought twice about. The series is notable not just for the quality of the black-and-white portraits but for the surprisingly eclectic civic personality it reveals. Together, the names read like the guest list of a very cool dinner party. Imagine The Stranger's Charles Mudede talking movies with filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Or restaurateur Matt Dillon and professional forager Jeremy Faber discussing their favorite fungi.
Tour Master Cortech Perforated Leather Jacket Sz 3XL/50 $150 - San ...
I've got a like new 3xl Cortech Tour Master Jacket. The jacket is a US size 50. The jacket has serious pads in the back shoulders, elbows, etc. The jacket also has a zip in/ out lining, with removable sleeves in case it gets cold. The jacket breathes very well, as it is made of perforated leather. Most people prefer the leather because it will not melt if it touches anything hot and it is very tear resistant. I'm selling the gear because I got it with my new bike and it doesn't fit. With that said, I need to finance gear that will fit. If it did fit, I would definitely keep it because everything is in excellent condition... just too big for me. Since so many people seem to be short on cash I'm also interested in the following ping pong table, pool table, weight tree, frisbee golf discs, composite bow, possibly a surf board, newish laptop or netbook (I also do computer repair and fresh builds if you just need your computer to work for you and your're located in San Diego)...
