With readers' donations, I bought a discounted Sony Cybershot on eBay in October -- thanks for the recommendation, Gill -- and love it.

I love my Sony Cybershot! It's pretty quick and good in low-light for a point-and-shoot. I'm sure you can use your charms to get someone to give you one...

Things have a way of working out right when they need to. That's one of my favorite games to play when something goes awry. Sometimes, I don't have to look so far to see the good thing that came from a bad situation. Hurricane Katrina? Yeah, that sucked. But if I had stayed in Nola, I never would've had the good sense to realize what was important and get back with Josh for good. The two years spent in South Carolina brought us a lot closer and taught me that, if nothing else, the sky is more beautiful at night when you live in the sticks. I hate it when things don't go how I'd planned them, but they always work out in a manageable way. Corporate sponsorship may not be the way to go with your project, but maybe you could contact the good deeds person at Sony and ask for a donated camera. Or get another company to provide one.
