Film vs. Digital

Lately I've been taking lots of photos with my Pentax k1000 (see my photo's from Chefchaouen below) and even though I love the camera, it's getting quite expensive to develop and buy so much film.  I would love to start posting more pictures of my day to day activities so I'm looking to buy a digital.... Any ideas of where I should start?
Some models I am considering:
Canon EOS 5d
Leica D-Lux 4
Nikon D90

There's a huge price range here as I've still got a lot of research to do. I haven't really decided whether I'm going to go with a compact camera or an SLR. It's all too confusing. Sorry about the bad scans. I don't have time or the patience to re-scan and remove the lines!





PIXIES

Last night I went to see the Pixies at Festival Hall!! I saw them in 2007 but this gig was so much better than the last. They played the entire album of Doolittle, including B sides, AND THEN came out for an encore that was almost like a second set. They played all of my favourite songs from Surfa Rosa and finished with 'Gigantic' which is my favourite song. Frank Black may have been angry but Kim Deal couldn't stop smiling.

Barcelona

I've just gotten back from a trip to Spain and Morocco. I fell in love with Barcelona and would like to live there some day. I miss the food already! We arrived at the end of winter and the weather was perfect. Here are some shots I took on my travels.














hello

I'm not sure what this blog will focus on yet. I will try to keep things flowing but I fear for the first part, things will seem a little disjointed. I'm sure I will improve and that's the main reason I'm starting this blog.
