Learning the camera, updating the set
So today I got my "photo" stuff in the mail.

Here's how I deal
I have a super small collecting budget. After the bills are paid, the food is bought, my son is clothed, and money is put away...well lets jus say there isn't much left.
Each week I give myself an allowance for coffee, lunch, and whatever else I may need. It's not much, just $50. I make sure I get it in cash (10 $5 bills), and it breaks down to $10 a day (it's only for work days).
I have a jar that says "Poker Money" on my desk and I fill it up every night when I get
A little less strain, and alot more detail.
