Oops I meant to post a photo with that last blog.

The last thing I needed

Last night as I was trying to finish cleaning up my scans and getting them ready for printing and converting them to jpgs so I could send them off to Costco, I lost all power. A power pole at the beginning of my street apparently could not handle all of the wind and I only got power back an hour ago. Unfortunately my computer is a desktop so I was pretty much screwed. I have a few test prints done and so far I am pretty pleased with the outcome but I am anxious to see the whole piece. I am getting my stuff finished up now but I don't know if they will be printed in time for class today.

I spent my morning sorting through the box full of crap that I have been scanning. I am working off of a suggestion I got Tuesday in class and grouping similar objects or items together. Sorting through everything proved to be quite a pain in the ass so I decided to go shoot some stuff for 499 before the sun went down. Dark at 4:30 really sucks! Shooting was very eventful. I was caught trespassing by the Port Police. Fortunately they caught me at the unlocked gate I went through and not the fence I kicked in a few minutes earlier. They were not very happy with me but I managed to talk my way out of trouble. I found some really cool stuff inside that gate, but I will wait a while before I go back.

opinions/advice needed

I have the opportunity to buy a DSLR for a pretty good price but I am torn between a Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1megapixels and a Nikon D5000 12.3megapixels. The prices are close so they are not a factor in my decision. I really would like to get the better camera and since I really am clueless about DSLRs I would really appreciate any advice. If anyone has one of these or has used one of these I would love to hear what you think about it. Thanks.
