You may stand in the street and shoot pictures, and come across people who you will probably not see again in the rest of your life. Here they are captured in the images. You look at the images and wonder how unimportant their lives are to you, just in the same way as yours to them. But with the same camera, you can do something that connects to them or strangers who you will come across, and leave a mark on their lives.
There are many ways to achieve this: to tell stories of the underprivileged in images; to meet photographers with your cameras; to help out as a volunteer photographer; to give your old cameras to the opportunity shops; to organise free photography classes for the poor and get sponsors to supply free cameras. You can combine the chances to make them meaningful, rather than letting the chances pass in your life.
