The Journey

 

Outdoor education and photography transitioned smoothly while working with these students. Working with students on these landscapes gave me the ability to document life under the stars and the journey. This gave me a new perspective on our relationship with the outside world and our connections to each other. It was a pivotal point in my work that helped me discover my desire to protect the environment and creating change through imagery and story telling.
