I would spend around $26, plus tax on a Canon Cable Release for my camera. This would greatly assist with the camera shake issue I am having.
The rest, I would spend on an informative, as opposed to a marketing oriented, photography magazine or two. Something that would explain how to capture images to obtain certain results.

I'll order that and 2004 Photographer's Market. (this wasn't a hypothetical question hehe)...one of those I know a friend who knows a friend who only has 40 bucks to spend...
I would apply it to a book of some sort... Probably a biography/autobiography of some photographer that I like or possibly a photo collection book from one of those photographers.
I may also apply it to expenses for a day trip to somewhere I have never been before.

No, don't order that. That item is just an adapter. It isn't the actual release. This is the release I am talking about...
I'd 'buy back' an extra half hour off work and go out and shoot some more.
Or I'd get $40 worth of prints of my shots and spend the time to finish them properly - I find the discipline of making a final print really makes me focus (and get annoyed!) at any failings in the shots - that I then try and avoid in the future.
Maybe I'd use the $40 to buy a tank of gas and drive somewhere interesting to shoot. Or use it to buy & pay for development of 4 rolls of B&W film.
I think probably the prints, though the extra time of work would be good too, if my boss would take my money :)

I really don't have too much to add here, perhaps time would be most useful to practice, and you could buy a bunch of coffee with forty dollars. (about 3 1/2 venti's at starbucks- lol)
I find that when it comes to contrived inspiration, you cannot beat red wine or large amounts of caffiene.
but seriously this is a great question. I would try to find a pill for forty dollars to keep me from compulsively entering my ill-fitting entries to challenges.

Ha! Too bad for you Gordon...with $40 I can buy two hours off of work...and I'm talking Canadian dollars! I feel bad for you...them's the breaks!
