CH-CH-CHanges...

Greetings, Blitzers. Well, things around here have been changing at the speed of light. Just days after returning home from the hospital, Tim was released to return to work. Boo! But, he made it through the day and then received a package full of awesomeness:

Yay! A fancy, schmancy, navy blue Pentax K-x DSLR. (Ya, navy blue.) Cool, huh? And with that, Blitzers, Tim has taken a giant leap into the stratosphere of advanced amateur photographers. Not that he wasn't already Blitzing Bigtime, but now he's got equipment that will keep up with his vision... So now what?

I'm not sure.

PhotoBlitz.US started as a creative collaboration, but as the experiment has continued, it's become clear that Tim and I have different strengths and goals. There is no doubt that Tim is a photographer, first, foremost, above all. It's what he does. It may be what he's doing at this very second. (The evening light is good right now.) With Tim's new lease on life, his new camera, and his desire to explore new avenues, he will no doubt continue to be an unstoppable force of Blitzosity.

Which leaves me.

Unlike Tim, I'm not a photographer first. I am a writer/thinker/idea person who likes to click pics. I also like to connect, to share, to communicate. That's what this blog has been about: sharing Tim's work (and a little of mine), sharing my ideas (and some of his), and getting you all to share in that excitement. I hope we've done that. But now it's time to move forward. Not move on, but forward.

There are plans in the works to make this more YOU AND US, rather than just US. With all that's happened recently, PhotoBlitz.US is being re-evaluated and re-designed. This blog will continue, but it may be a little less Blitzy for the time being, as time and energy will be poured into developing the newer, bigger PhotoBlitz.US site. We still have plans for a PhotoBlitz portfolio, but that's on hold for now. So hang in there with us during the remodel. We'll still have fun and there will still be pics. Also, be sure to check out the Facebook page for random photo tidbits.

Hasta later, Blitzers. We'll be back.

Excelsior! Take It Straight to the Top!

The Blitz is Back, baby! Yes, we are back on a semi-regular basis for the next week. Then we'll think about stunning you with an avalanche of PhotoBlitz-tastic-ness! Or, we may take naps. Hard to say right now. We're still kind of tired. But I did want to update you on our Tim. He's recovering at such an astounding rate, he may undergo genetic testing to ferret out those mutant X-Man codes for regenerative ability. Some weird kind of Wolverine thing, I dunno... Well, whatever it is, it worked and I'm not gonna question success.

Now, tonight's post is a bit of a surprise for Tim. I told him I probably wasn't going to start the ball rolling again until Monday, but now that he's home, he's been working on some pics. He gave me this one and a few others tonight and I'm so thrilled that he's bounding back so quickly...Well, I've got to start sharing them with you! This is a picture taken on a hike the day before "The Event" and edited just days after. How far he's come, so fast. YES!

Well, Blitzers, keeping it short and sweet. Have to get up a little early tomorrow. Tim, uh, left the Pathfinder's headlights on and needs a jump in the morning. Looks like everything's getting back to normal. (Thank God!)

Hasta later, Blitzers!
