Son, this here is Canon Town...

I'm getting ready to shoot two weddings in the next two weeks and I'm pumped! This weekend, Sarah and I are headed up to Abingdon, VA via an overnight trip to Asheville without the girls! So, as I'm preparing for the weddings, I'm thinking about some gear I'd love to rent...nothing I really need, it would just be fun to have with me and would give me a few more options.

So I search for camera rental stores around, and I find one place...Biggs Camera! Well, it seems that Mr. Biggs must be a Canon man. The only problem with that is that I shoot Nikon. I talked to a friend who has a coworker with the license plate "NIKONFAN" or something like that. She told him that there is nowhere in town to rent Nikon! Craziness! In LA, there were rental places on every corner that rented any piece of equipment one could ever need. Oh, Sammy's Camera, where are you in my time of need???? I guess I was a little spoiled.

My next thought was to look for camera stores that might sell a few little things I need to pick up. So I search for camera stores near me. Biggs is a little too far away. My other options are about 20 Wolf Cameras (the twin brother of over-priced retailer Ritz...bleh), Best Buy, and Circuit City. Not exactly my idea of places I'd like to shop. I guess if I need equipment ever again, I've got to think way ahead and buy it online.
