We press the shutter to capture the trees, the grass, the water, the flowers—
tiny moments of nature, frozen in a frame.
Starting from the places we know best—our campuses—we use our cameras to share the surprising ways nature shows up in our everyday lives.
We might come from different backgrounds, with different perspectives and experiences,
but we’re all connected by the same natural world.
