I'm not sure if it was true in this case but a lot of photo journalists actually own all their own equipment. It's not provided by the company they are working for. Should have been like a diplomatic courier and kept it in your hands at all times. It was probably insured but he isn't going to get gear anytime soon.

This depends largely on the agency, speaking as a former journalist. Larger organizations like NYT or NBC provide gear, while wire services like Reuters and AP use freelancers with their own equipment.

I'm bemused by the author bringing up Stokke's "Disney princess olive skin". Either this remark is utterly meaningless - literally every skin color has been shared by a Disney princess - or it is simply bizarre racism. It's just nonsense.

The reality is that nobody outside of pole vaulting cares about pole vaulters, except for that one who had become a meme some years ago.

Yeah, that line stood out to me as well. And it's outrage for outrage's sake. Sexy people are more popular than ugly people. It happens. That's why Ryan Lochte ended up on 30 Rock and dozen other loving guest spots, over horseface Phelps.

On the other hand, has anyone posted in the photography subforum and told them that there are going to be a whole bunch of super-cheap professional lenses on ebay over the next few weeks?

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking 8 since it is delayed 1 hour.

Looks like NBC will start 30 minutes before the opening ceremony, but on a 1 hour delay

So if the opening ceremonies start at 7 PM your time, tune in at 7:30 for NBC's coverage

The NBC app on my Roku says 7:30 eastern as the start time for the opening ceremony (tape delayed to that time for all time zones but central. Poor central time. So neglected)

I'm heading out to a bar to watch it with some friends tonight. Going to come up with some drinking game rules based around it being a shitshow, and fully expect to be ubering home.

I assure you all that if I had a better upload than 100kpbs I'd stream the CBC feed for any goon trapped as a victim of NBC's attempts to coverup what could be such a spectacular series of avoidable failures.

Don't wait to watch their garbage Lauer-heavy coverage. There will be live streams everywhere starting at 7pm
