I used to like Circuit City a lot. Best Buy came to town here in York. I like having both choices actually. My problem with Best Buy and Circuit City is the level of knowledge the associates have. Most of them aren’t deserving of pay higher than minimum wage. I find myself buying more and more online after doing my own research. Occasionally one of them will have a better price than what is available online, but that’s not very often. I shop for what’s the best value. I’ll consider the ethics too. Like, where the product was made, or how the retailer treats it’s employees. As well as, how honest the marketing is.

I’d like to consider the ethics more often. However, if you choose to do so it feels like there is not much ethics out there.

I took this picture with a video camcorder, a Sony DCR-SR100. I had forgotten the compact flash card for my Canon Digital SLR. I was using the “Nightshot” mode, which makes the photo super grainy. I used filtering to blur away some of the graininess with Picasa.

I liked the composition among other things.
