The 70–200 Conversation

· Comment

So, I haven’t done one of these in a while. I was con­vers­ing with Juan about what gear to pack for my Big Island trip next week. Com­ing up with at least these:

  • 20D + SD400
  • 17–35/2.8–4
  • 28–75/2.8
  • bat­ter­ies + chargers

He then sug­gested to bring the 70–200 as well. Now, for those non-shutterbug geeks, this lens is huge and heavy but it packs a wallop.

Any­ways, here’s how it ended:

juan: (-) addi­tional weight w/ the above pack
juan: ?!?!?!?!?!?
juan: what good is work­ing out if you can’t carry an extra 10 pounds?!
juan: wuss
juan: I’ll fight you

Kobe vs. McGrady?!

Word on the street is… that there has been talk about whose bet­ter than who, Kobe Bryant or Tracy McGrady?

Well, here’s an arti­cle by ESPN’s Mitch Lawrence: Why Kobe’s bet­ter than McGrady
