We use cameras.
"What? That's it?" Yeah. Cameras. You want details? Hmmmm, well, okay. But only 'cause it's you.
This is a camera.
An ultra-basic 35mm. We don't use this one, BUT we do use basic digitals and sometimes our cell phone cams -- and we still end up with shots that make people go, "Nice!" (Especially Maestro Tim. His pics ROCK.)
Cool, ain't it?
It's funny, but the first thing people ask if you take pics is "What kind of camera do you have?" They think you're slinging a Canon in one hand and a Nikon in the other. Not the little ones either, but the industrial-strength bodies with those ginormous Observatory-sized lenses. Not us. We just take pics...and look at pics...and study pics. We take more pics. Then more. We walk slowly, look around, observe. Take more pics. Then more. Practice, learn, practice. All with our pocket-sized cams.
Now, don't get us wrong. We would so LOVE to have a couple of DSLR kits! They have a lot of advantages, for sure, and we'd be more than happy to make full use of them. (In fact, if you just won the Lottery or have a pile of cash sitting around and are thinking, "Gee, I'd really like to find something to blow all these Benjamins on," here's a suggestion: Two Nikon D3000 Kits for Tim and Lisa.) But here's the reality: not having that equipment right now isn't going to keep us from doing what we love today. And it shouldn't stop you. Grab your camera. Or your cell phone camera. Or your kid's Spongebob camera. Get out, take pictures. Walk slowly. Look up, look down, take pictures. Observe. Practice. Learn. Never stop.
Follow your Blitz.
