St. Louis: A spontaneous photoshoot

While I was exploring the Arch, I met a photographer who was using an interesting old film camera to capture the park. I got into a great conversation with him about his work, and after our convo, he took this photo of me.

He's writing a photobook about the history of St. Louis and the Gateway Arch.

I also met some great people around St. Louis who were fellow travelers -- one group in particular, two Colombian sisters, invited me to their travel group! It's incredible how meaningful spontaneous human connection can be.

Here's some other photos I captured.
