Definitely something deep to that comment. I have a friend who as a child used to "get yelled at by parents" because he'd take pictures of parking lots and the cars. Now it's an archival record of what cars were like in the 60s and 70s and quite fascinating.
That is a great story. This archive proved an unexpected connection to people when I found myself comfortable enough with a camera to offer a hand when I saw a tourist downtown taking family photos. Rather than dodge it, I offered to take one for them with his camera of the whole family.
