Here's a great use for that old camera you no longer use
With camera technology (especially in smartphones) improving all the time, chances are you have an older, no longer wanted camera sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
Instead of throwing yours into the garbage or recycling it, you can always donate it to someone who has shown an interest in photography and watch with satisfaction as another "camera buff" is born and begins to flourish.
Although that years-year old digicam sitting on your shelf is yesterday's technology, it probably still works quite well.
Chances are you know a child, a family member or a friend that would love to have it. By giving it away you'll be keeping it out of the landfill while putting a working camera into the hands of someone who will put it to good use.
There are plenty of kids from needy families and aspiring, but financially struggling novice photographers who have dreams just as big as our own but have no money with which to make them a reality. Find someone who would appreciate receiving your used camera and who knows, you just might change a life for the better.
And by the way, the same goes for your used and dated photography books, magazines and manuals as well. Instead of simply trashing them, you can always pass them along to someone else along with your no-longer used camera. You're sure to feel better knowing your gifts are being put to good use and the recipient will be happy to get your hand-me-downs.
