DO IT, DOUG!!!
Seriously, tripods let you take pictures of still things in low light without needing a flash. Stable surfaces you can lean against, prop your camera on, or place your camera on are a good alternative, but your positioning is limited. Even a cheap gooseneck-leg tripod will help; I have one for my AE-1, but I haven't used it much because it's short and collapses under the camera's weight most of the time. -
If this is for that art shooting, I use an old piece of 1"x2", sometimes a broomstick to steady my Fuji digicam, and the "shoot on the exhale" sniper trick, and always take like 6 photos and pick the one that cought the best focus.
Dont buy one just to take photos for your brother!-
just saying that because IMHO those $20 cheapie "digital camera tripods" are a ripoff - my old roommate had one and it broke in like a month.
sucks that you got to spend more $$$ to get one that's worth the money at all; catch-22.-
you can pick up a decent tripod for $40.. example:
