The Kiva Center does the kind of work that's easy to feel and hard to articulate: getting kids outside, building relationships with the natural world, planting the seeds of a generation that actually gives a damn about the planet. My job was to help them put words and images to it.

I worked with the team to capture what they stand for — the quiet moments, the loud ones, the values living underneath the day-to-day programming — and translate that into content that does justice to the work. Outdoor education is one of those things you have to show people for them to understand why it matters, and I was grateful to be the one holding the camera (and the keyboard) for a while.
