Ive always been the "photographer friend" of my friend group. But up until recently it was either just on my phone or my little point and shoot (Olympus Infinity II).
But i really prefer to shoot on my SLR (Canon AE-1) so I've started carrying that around with me. Sometimes I still think about how I'm the "weirdo with a camera" but to be honest with you everyone loves it and it's a really great conversation starter. I've gotten pretty confident now but every once and a while it gets me again.
I went on a trip a couple months ago with some friends, one of which had recently gotten into photography. He brought a camera along (no idea what kind, it used film ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ) and that little piece of plastic made the trip so much more enjoyable, through it he became our "in" for several fun interactions.
Some people will feel otherwise, but until you give me a reason to add "weirdo" myself, people with cameras are just people with cameras, haha.
