Finally!

Finally!, a photo by speckled_beckle on Flickr.

I was so grateful to be able to finally get some new work up. I have tons of landscape and nature photos that I could share, but after a while, my page starts to feel boring (to me) so I like to mix it up.

There are two reasons why I haven't shared new work regularly.
The first is that my Canon battery died (doh!) and I was not able to locate my charger. (Hooray for emptying out my camera bag in a hurry.) That led me to borrow my teacher's Nikon D300 for a night of shooting, and then to borrow the school's Nikon D200 for a week. (I have it checked out until May 3rd.) The problem with that is that my Canon uses an SD card (for which there is a direct drive in my computer) but the D200 uses a CF card, which requires a reader. I borrowed one, but it didn't work.
The second reason I have not been sharing work regularly --even the work waiting from my Canon, like the above shot-- is because my computer needs a friendly back up drive to use. I have a back up drive, but I need to get it examined. When I try to access some files on it, the files say "file not found" or "file not accessible" and I have no idea why. So, needless to say, I haven't used my backup drive in a year and a half. That translates into my computer being full (287 GB has lasted me two years, at least!) and not being able to upload photos.

(Breathe.)

To cap off all my wonderful technology troubles, my flash drive "went missing" from a computer lab at school, so the only way I have to transport pictures back and forth is email.

Like I mentioned in the description of this image on Flickr, I think that all of this techno trouble is happening because my finals are not looking to be too troublesome this year.

(In fact, I have one presentation next week and one test in anatomy, then I'm done except for photo DVD viewing! Huzzah!)
