Importance of camera.

Annabelle's family wins a Kodak camera in a contest. Toby takes pictures with the camera. The camera, Annabelle realizes, allows Toby to shoot wildlife in a different way than with a gun, and brings her closer to Toby as a result. Toby finds the capturing of beauty through the camera to be a way of preserving, rather than destroying beauty as is done in wartime. The camera thus becomes the first real connection Annabelle and Toby have with one another.
