This photo has now become "the most interesting" photo on Flickr when you seach for "Kobe Bryant."  Amazing.  Volume up especially as Kobe recently reached the 20,000 point milestone (before age 30). I heard on SportsCenter this morning that Wilt reached this point in five fewer seasons...

VitalStatistics.info politely asked to use this photo on their site for an article on Kobe. A first for me. Very cool.

Jules and I brought Ian and Eric to the Celtics game last night. I cranked up the 70-200mm at ISO 800, and got a couple of decent shots. Here's one of the dreaded Kobe -- who, it has to be said, can create a shot.

The Iceman Cometh Challenge is a great day, with unpredictable weather, and a fantastic athletic event. The race takes place around the first Saturday of November, depending on where Halloween falls that year.

Steve Brown is the Iceman, race director, and an old friend.  I have created this catalog of pictures from this year's race to make the shots available to any of the riders who are interested, and to tell a bit of the story of the race.

Here the Expert Men riders nudge toward the starting line.
