PSSST….Are You Packin’ Cam?

I love still images but sometimes there is nothing like motion. So I ask You:

Are you packin’ cam?

Your video camera, that is.

Your camera– and your right to use it– is as important to many of us as our right to pack heat– uh, carry a concealed weapon, that is. And no, I don;t pack heat.

But I do pack cam, and that can be just as important. With it, you can:

• Capture a family moment.
• Witness a crime.
• Record breaking news or a natural disaster.
• Make a personal statement by pointing the camera at yourself.
• Record a coworkers moment of triumph.
• Surreptitiously record b-roll for a company video.
• Ask Grandma 20 questions for posterity before she shuffles off to Baltimore.
• Narrate your own personal documentary.
• Record something worth 100,000 hits on YouTube (like that territorial squirrel fight I saw– and missed– the other day. I forgot to pack cam.)

So pack cam. The links you gain, the views you rank, even the money you make from a once in a lifetime catch, is worth only the amount of cam you take.
