Jeez...a disposable 35mm camera can be purchased at any drugstore and
the images recorded as .jpgs on a CD...all for under $15/20.  Stand in
front of a closet door and drape a bedsheet (preferably a
non-patterned colored sheet) over the door as background and have
someone shoot a roll of images.  At least one of the 24 has to be
better than a mobile phone camera image.
