I bought my wife a Holga the other day--The wife is the one that can sniff your darkroom and date your developer to within an hour or so, and I am the one with the "eye" for a good picture, but that Holga for 35 bux including shipping from BH, has really become a neat artistic little item.
I discovered many years ago that a new typewriter or later a new word processing program stimulated my creativity for many months as I wrote, but so to does a new camera or doo-dad. I refuse to "chase the magic bullet" most days but often I find renewed inspiration through the purchase of something new, or unique. As I tell the wife, the judicious use of a fifty dollar bill, be it on E-Bay, or the local bookstore, or for gas to drive somewhere new, can often pay itself back many times over.
