Local Community Topic Proposal 9/14/15

I have chosen to do the photo essay on the local Muslim community. It is a community of mostly older foreign immigrants who bond over their religion. This is a community that I have been actively a part of for the last 15 years or so. It is one that I consider a positive influence in my life. I would like to learn more about the ways this community benefits people. This not only relates to the people in the community, but the public. I would hope that it does something to make our city a brighter place, and in my essay, I hope to discover what good it does.
