been so long without a digital camera. got a new camera in the mail today... yay! daddy's are wonderful, thank you dad!

a death in the family.

my camera is broken. my lens will not extend when i turn it on and the motor makes a funny running noise trying to get it out. i get a lens error message and from what i found online, the gears in the motor have probably let go. with no money for a new one...i won't be taking photos for awhile. it was only a 4mpx, now obsolete kodak easyshare c330. though i needed to upgrade, financially its not the time to go camera shopping. the agony of being without a camera...anyone have a spare to loan?
