The camera is a wonderful "weapon" for community! I have met so many amazing people through simply noting their camera or asking permission to take their picture. Today, seeing two young fellows wandering around like they were lost, I asked them about their cameras. An hour later we were still visiting, I had taken them to the top of a local building for rooftop shots of the Exchange District and had connected through Flickr. Turns out they are from and nearby local town, with Mennonite and East Indian roots in their ancestry, and they know the three families that I know in their town. How cool is that!
