February 1, 2020

Throughout my life, I have tried so many things. Spoken-word, writing, I once owned a fruit salad business with a friend then, later on, we opened a printing business. My partner started doing design and I started photography. I also forgot the part where I started swimming with the hope that I would one day be participating in the 2016 Olympics.

January 17, 2020

A few weeks ago I got a question from a high school friend. He was in the market for a new camera and wanted to know what camera to start with. The answer to this question is the camera that you start with, is the camera that fits within your needs. When I first bought my camera there was a whole lot of thinking that I did not do. Amongst the things that I did not think about was what genre of photography I would do. This would ultimately define...

2 LESSONS LEARNT FROM CHASE JARVIS
August 16, 2019
