Who amongst you know how to easily make type that masks a pic?

Im attempting to make a shirt right now, and im about to pop a blood vessel because i cant get the picture and type im using to divide from each other to form type with an image fill. If anyone knows how to do this easily in Illustrator, your help is greatly appreciated.

Heres an example of what im talking about just in case my barbaric rant didnt translate to enlgrish properly. Sponsored by Babelfish®

   EDIT

   Place text in front of image (don’t convert to outlines) and select all Object>Clipping Mask>Make

   The text can still be changed, and you can adjust the picture with the direct selection tool.

   Do it in Photoshop.

   Place the image layer above the text layer
   Hold down alt and click right between the two layers in the layers pallet

   hope that makes sense.
