When we don't have Dan's digital camera (like, he isn't with me) I can
take a pic with my good ol' 35 mm....a disposable is a good
alternative....and after getting them developed scan them onto my
computer...OOPS...that brings up a different "special equipment"
issue, a scanner.....SORRY didn't mean to..... muddy the waters! ha ha

I guess my point is that a digital camera, while the easier way to get
pics online, isn't the only way. "Where there is a WILL you will find
a WAY" (and let's hope with a minimum of whining.... :-)

However, you don't need to use a digital camera to take a picture and
post it to Geocaching.com.  You can get a very inexpensive camera
(like a disposable camera for around $5), take pictures, develop them
using a service that provides you with free pictures online (like
Photoworks.com), 
and upload the online picture to your cache log.  This is what I did
for virtual and locationless caches before I obtained my digital
camera.
 
This is not as easy as using a digital camera, and you may have to
wait several days after visiting a virtual cache before you can obtain
the picture and post it to your log entry, but it is an inexpensive
way to get a picture for a virtual cache entry.
