HELP! Can't get pictures off of memory card!
It could be a bad contact or the wrong software. If it worked on that computer before, I would bet on a bad contact, computer or card.

Rationale for film and darkroom in class?
Good point.
Might be an interesting class.

Dropped Nikon D80 on lens. Can't get lens off
I don't know where you are hiding out but there used to be a great camera repair shop in NW Tucson and they didn't charge an arm and a leg.
I would bet your lens has had it but maybe the camera can be saved.

To the macro and naturalist photographers... Spider question
They may be blending in to avoid becoming someone's dinner.

What's The Photographer's Version of Writer's Block?
I think you may have started thinking about what your camera can do and not about what you see. You are looking and not seeing. Some suggestions:
Most of all, relax.

Take a nap between 2 and a half hours after sunrise and end it 2 and a half hours before sunset. That way you will be well rested and awake for the best light of the day. ;-)

Look for very simple compositions and think about them, a curve, a simple shape, repeated patterns, etc..

Whenever I get bound up on something I sometimes remember to tell myself "KISS!".

Book recommendations
I don't think there is any one book. Some of the best I have are out of print and at the moment in storage while I move. I love the control I had with film am not entirely satisfied with digital and auto focus. I still drag along my 48 year old Nikon F. It still works as well as it did brand new. Meanwhile I used up a half dozen automated and digital cameras.
I really suggest a simple film camera with a good range of settings and a hand held meter. It is slower and somewhat expensive way to learn, and different films will add a whole new dimension. ;-)

Advice Wanted - Going to Arizona
While in Tucson, there are two missions south of Tucson. San Xavier (http://www.sanxaviermission.org/) and Tumacacori (http://www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm).
Both are challenging to photograph.

Have fun

picking a full frame DSLR
I've used both Canon and Nikon and like both. I suggest you look at the simpler models and spend your money on the best lenses you can buy.

Best Cheap Tripod
I picked up an army surplus tripod for $5. It is ugly and a little rough to adjust but strong enough to hold a Hass 501 and heavy lenses rock solid. It is a great spare and I don't care where it gets put. It's amazing how many useful items I have found in Surplus stores

What bird book do you recommend for beginners.
Thank you for asking the question. I learned a few new ones today. I've been dragging my Peterson's Western around for 36 years. My Audubon guide gave up the binder at about 3 months. Maybe it is the dry climate on the SW border.
One thing, you may encounter birds not in your local guide.

Photo equipment $$$ in crouds

I spent hours on buses today for a round trip to Jerusalem and I took over 300 shots.

What I want know from you people with big bucks invested in your photo equipment: what do you do in crowds? What do you do when there are teenagers everywhere and they all seem to be looking at your stuff? What if all of a sudden it gets very tight (too many people in a small place) and you've got the most to lose? And what do you do when they start running in all directions, making tremendous amounts of noise?

I carry a minimum of equipment and no more than 2 lenses, one on camera, a small bag with a strong strap, and a little tape on the camera to cover the name and make it look a little damaged.
I never had expensive camera equipment before? What do you do?
