This is the best idea for celebrating Easter that I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I wonder if I'll have the balls to participate? Probably not. That sucks.

Photography tip jar

My camera is having some shutter problems:



This will cost so much to fix that I'm seriously considering replacing the camera body with the Canon Digital Rebel XT (the lenses and flash unit are compatible). With the $100 rebate, which lasts until mid-July, replacing the 35mm camera would cost as much as getting it repaired and shooting 50 rolls of film.

I've gotten pretty good with a camera, I think.



I'd love to not have to worry about whether I'm wasting film; I'd get more good shots to share with everyone. And I do mean everyone, since I use a Creative Commons license.

If anyone would like to contribute, an Amazon.com gift certificate to sylvar@vaxer.net would be the ideal way to do so. I told cardinalximinez that I wouldn't set up a tip jar for fear of getting my ego crushed. Oh well, go ahead and crush me.

Or, if you feel generous, send me a gift certificate.

( Are you spoiled? -- the long version )

Now here's the short version:

[ ] Do you have access to fresh running water?
[ ] Do you have the option of sleeping indoors?
[ ] Can you generally find food to eat?
[ ] Do you have the time to do LiveJournal memes?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you're spoiled compared to millions of people.
If you answered yes to ALL of the above, you're spoiled compared to a few billion people.
