The 70-200 Conversation

July 26th, 2006  |  Published in Uncategorized

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

This photo just brings back memories of when I got my iPod 30GB Photo. I was charging it near my PC, when someone just goes there and disconnects it from the dock–when I told them beforehand not to do so!
