Level Four: The Mega-Blitz


You've arrived! You've done it! You're up to Level Four today, you awesome PhotoBlitzers. Like the view from up here? Sweet, don't ya think? Cool. Ok, who's ready for lunch? We're hungry.


Right. Now you're all probably thinking you've reached a whole new level and you have...sorta. Just not how you might think. Remember yesterday's level? No? Um, the Standard Blitz. We discussed it, there were pictures...a couple of hours in a neat locale, five good pictures... 'Member? You 'member. Ya. Well, the Mega-Blitz is an extension of the Standard. You get to visit yet another cool place and do a second blitz on the same day. Like stopping here at Tio's Tacos after Blitzing Mt. Rubidoux, all in the ultra-cool city of Riverside, California. How fun is that?


"So all we're doing is another Blitz, on top of the one we just finished? That's lame." That's what you're thinking, isn't it? Our answer: Yes, it is, and no, it's not. Here's the deal: After you finish your Standard Blitz, go someplace else and do a Mini-Blitz or even another Standard, depending on your time. This place will involve food because you're probably a little hungry after the all that PhotoBlitzing you've been doing. Go to a quirky restaurant, or that neat cafe with all the paintings by local artists on the wall. Maybe a place with an outdoor patio where you can people watch. Wherever. Just Go Have Lunch.

Oh, just one little detail...you can't go alone.


There's one thing that sets the Mega-Blitz apart from and above all the others: A Mega-Blitz can only be Mega if there are two or more camera-wielding Blitzers in the group. You can't do this Blitz by yourself because the goal of the Mega isn't really about taking pictures; it's about having fun. More Blitzers equal more fun. Add chips and salsa, and you've got a party going on! Woooo-hoo!


Level Four is special because here is where PhotoBlitzing goes from being something you do to something you live. PhotoBlitzing as a lifestyle. Ya, we said it. A whole, flippin', awesome lifestyle, baby!


Here's what we mean: when you become passionate about PhotoBlitzing, you'll want to spend hours and hours at it. Taking pics, altering pics, reading about taking pics, cutting across two lanes of traffic just to snap another even more amazing sunset...you're all over it. And that's great and it's fun. But when you find others who share that crazy obsession with you, the fun becomes outta control. Everything becomes better. You share ideas, you learn, they learn, skills improve, creativity expands, and, ya, your entire quality of life changes for the Spectacular. No lie. Because now...now, you have found your people. Whether it's one person or a cast of thousands, you are among your own kind. And when that happens, you have to celebrate, right? Because that passion of yours is now shared and supported and will eventually affect other aspects of your life in ways too incredible to imagine. It's all win-win-WIN! And that's the PhotoBlitzing lifestyle: living life with creativity, enthusiasm, and Following Your Blitz.



Now go have lunch.
