It's What We Were Born to Do


You are a champion. Did you know that? Anyone tell you that lately? No? I'm shocked. Thank goodness WE are here for YOU. 'Cause someone's got to tell you how it is, and who better than your dynamic PhotoBlitz duo? Well, yeah, okay, there's probably a ton of people more qualified: Dr. Phil, Phil Jackson, the L.A. Philharmonic... but have they done it? Uh, noooo. AH-HAH! That makes us the experts by default. So there. Now, let's begin.

What is it that makes you so awesome? Is it your charm? Good looks? Complete collection of Star Wars action figures dating from the late 70's? Well, duh! That goes without saying. But beyond that, it is your commitment. It is your drive. It is your intense dedication to and pursuit of the Blitz. While others stand on the sidelines or sit on their badunkies, you are out there with your cameras. You don't rest. You don't weary. You don't let the trials, tribulations, and bad hair days steer you off course. Though at times, the wild hurricanes of life batter and beat your will to Blitz on, still you rise. Still, you raise your camera. Like an Olympus-toting phoenix soaring upwards, you squeeze that shutter and Click Those Pics. (If phoenixes could hold cameras, of course. They obviously can't. Except maybe in those Harry Potter films...)


What we are saying -- and by we, I mean I, writing for the both of us and generally not failing to stun Tim when he reads my random blathering after it posts -- is that champions do not lose focus. They don't quit. They don't allow anything to stop them from pursuing their passions and their dreams. As Blitzers, we -- and by we I mean you and us -- chase after images, and stories, and fleeting moments that will become memories the second they pass. We capture and create illusions, and perceptions of reality. No matter what level of expertise we have or will ever attain, this is Who We Are and What We Do. When we know this and go after it, no matter where it leads, we are awesome. We are victorious. We Are Champions.
