Acknowledgements

Had it not been for a lot of people coming together over the course of two years, this project would still be just a kernel of an idea bouncing around inside my little brain.

Of course, thank you to the 100—actually the 106—who are in this book. Thank you all for making time out of your busy schedules to sit (or stand or roll around on the floor) for me, and to share your ideas on who else in your circles might be a good fit for the project. Ultimately, it was all of you who helped the intimation of a list in my head grow into what’s found in these pages. Thank you.

It’s unlikely that anyone who’s not involved with feature film productions or large-scale project management could easily understand what a colossal cluster it is to produce a project like this. Put aside my traveling 150,000 miles per year for a moment, and just consider the schedules of these 106 subjects. And many of these subjects are actually 3, 5, 10, or more people in and of themselves. You get the picture. I want to thank my team that started this project, as well as the team that finished it.

As such, the wrangling of all this couldn’t have happened without absolutely superstar production, to which I owe a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you, Kate. You have been amazing. My wife, my rock. Mikal, your wrap-up on this book has been a true gift. Were it not for the producers keeping this project on track, I’d still be floundering over the first round of subjects, and we wouldn’t have eaten a thing or had even one glass of champagne. Thank you.

To my photo crew: Scott, Dartanyon, Norton, and Erik. I owe you guys, big time. You must have thought I was nuts when we launched the project, but thanks for sticking with it. Managing the data was an enormous undertaking in its own right. Terabyte after terabyte. Picture after picture. Video clip after video clip. I’m quite certain we shot over 30,000 images for this humble little project, not to mention the hours of behind-the-scenes video. And to edit a project like this? I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Narrowing hun- dreds of pictures for each subject down to an essential one or two or three was grueling. One. At. A. Time. ’Twas torture, really. But in a sicko sort of way, I loved it and I hope you did, too. Of course, each digital file still needs massaging into the right balance of blacks and whites. On a deadline, no less. I am sad that we had to leave so many gems out of the book... Which brings me to the website—a whole other endeavor. I’m grateful that so many more pictures get to reside there. However, the creation of the digital aspect of this project is/was a monster unto itself, as well. You’re starting to get the picture. The list goes on.

And finally, how is it that a project that’s been in the works for two years requires packaging and shipping it off to the printer in a two-week window? I take the blame for that one. But it made us stronger. And it made the photos more cohesive. And, strangely, I believe it made the project better. Thank you, thank you everyone.

To the hair and makeup artists who were there for us so many times, at all hours, on all days: thank you. Alvin Stillwell, you did a lot of the heavy lifting. Gracefully. Dawn Tunnell, Erin Skipley, Stacy Canon, and Tara Correll: thank you for your skills and your flexibility. A debt I owe. All of you stylists faced the 10-hour days and the 30-minute days, and you just kept at it, regardless of my requests for powder or a hurried touch-up. You refreshed the 100 when they needed it, and you stayed true to those who just wanted that errant pimple covered up, and others still whom you made up as if it were their finest hour. Thank you.

To Lou Maxon, the firepower behind the design of this gorgeous pile of paper: thanks for the long hours on a short timeline. I love where it ended up.

To Mitch Moquin, thank you for my bio photo.

To my editor, Ted. You are the finest editor there is. Hands down. Thank you for helping me make the book that I wanted to make. The intense final hours of this project won’t soon disappear from my mind. And to the rest of the Pearson crew: thank you for helping me go to press, make this unique dream come true and, especially, to democratize the price point of this book. Yes, I know a 240-page, large-format art book should cost twice as much as this does—or more. I know it’s against all models and all P&Ls, and that it doesn’t pencil out. But thank you for helping me make a book that is more affordable for a wider range of the world.

Of course, to my family, core and extended: your unending support has been a driving force in my life. Thank you. I love you.

To all: what matters most is that we didn’t just talk about it, we did it.

About the Artist

Born, raised, and currently residing in , Chase Jarvis is well known as a visionary photographer, director, pro- vocateur, and social artist with a consistent ambition to break down—even explode—the traditional silos where ideas reside, especially including the traditionally opposed notions of fine art and commercial art. While much of his focus is, on the surface, based in visual and representational art, his most profound interests lie in conceptual and informa- tional art—and where they intersect.

His personal work has earned the attention of gallerists and curators in the USA and abroad, he has won numerous awards for his commercial campaigns, and he is widely recognized for his entrepreneurial acumen. Chase has been featured in print, web, and broadcast—including photography, film and video trades, celebrity, news, and popular culture media—worldwide.

A gifted leader with boundless energy, Chase finds time amidst his creative ambitions to cultivate communities, unite disparate cultures, and volunteer with numerous organizations around the globe. And he wants you to know that, while he approved this statement, his publisher wrote it with all the right pizzazz and buzz words. Introductory Remarks and Artist’s Statement

I’ve told this backstory 100 times already—once to each of the And then I broke through. The project I was seeking wasn’t with individuals or groups featured herein—and now this 101st time to you. someone on the list, the project was the list. And that list needed to grow and be shared. Background The majority of the work I do making photographs and films happens far Photographically, this project was launched for myself. It was a personal away from Seattle. Whether it’s fine art or advertising work, Seattle is not project—not commissioned, not guided, and with no objective goal in the hub that cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, or Tokyo are for sight. However, as the project grew and evolved, it became clear that these sorts of things, so it’s in those cities and others like them where I what I was aiming to create was more than a series of portraits. It was spend much of my time and creative energy. For career reasons. the portrait of a city. For survival. Seattle 100 ranges from musicians and writers to scientists and But at some point, that attitude—that “reality”—left me feeling developers, from dancers and filmmakers to a professor and a couple uneasy. For what I preach to my friends who are looking to make of comedians, an ad agency, even a burlesque troupe. For such a things of creative value is that they must look inside themselves to find seemingly disparate group, what they all have in common—and why what matters, that creative inspiration isn’t an “out there” thing I’ve brought them together—is an intense passion for the great and mandated by some “other.” It’s an “in here” thing, nurtured and decided important work they do and how it affects this city. These are the first and foremost by each of us for ourselves. innovators, trendsetters, and pathfinders in their industries. Their accomplishments are sometimes simple, other times complex, but That said, Seattle has always been inspirational to me. It’s my always profound and inspiring.

It was another one of those uncharacteristically warm fall days. I sat with the Process intention to wrangle the Seattle ideas that had long been in my head.

Occasionally there were errant successful images outside this boundary—even some technical misfires that made their way into I began, as I often do, with a list. A brainstorm list of people, and it was the final selection—but the goal was to be incredibly reductive in the 20th or 50th such list I’d started but not transcended or turned into methodology: just the subject on white.

I’ve also asked the par- my strobes. In no one sitting did I shoot fewer than 200 shots, and in ticipants for a brief list of their favorite things in and around Seattle.

Choosing the subjects to include here was also embroiled in dichotomy. Lastly, please be forewarned: this book—and the ecosystem around the It was easy and it was hard.
