With over 250 people in attendance, he presented a slide show of past and current work along with a lot of images from the new book.
Through a raffle and silent auction, Chase also raised money for the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center.

Chase Jarvis Hanger Shoot 2
August 10, 2008 | Filed Under Latest News | Leave a Comment
Last Friday night (August 8, 2008), I had the fortunate opportunity to attend a Seattle Flickr Meetup photo shoot hosted by the great Chase Jarvis.
Chase rented an aircraft hanger in Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington to host the event. Glazers Camera provided multiple stations with lights, backdrops and pocket wizards.
To kick the event off, Chase provided an educational session on how he approaches a photo session working with his models. His subjects for the demonstration were a group of three very talented break dancers.
In addition to the break dancers, there were models and bmx ramp riders that provided the approximately 100 photographers plenty of opportunity for photos.
I ended up spending most of my time photographing the BMX riders but I did venture in a for a short shoot of one model named Rachael. I also did a lot of observing and networking with other photographers.
After the evening photo shoot was over, Chase treated the group to an after hours party at the Luau Polynesian Lounge for a light snack and beverages.
This was a great event for all who attended. The opportunity to see how Chase approaches a photo shoot was worth the whole trip in itself. The models, lighting setups, etc. were all icing on the cake.
My gratitude to Chase and his crew, as well as the Seattle Flickr Meetup organizers. Job well done.
