What is wilderness?
- The wildness of our planet and the existence of everything in it
- The preservation of the world
- There’s always two people in a photograph: photographer and viewer
Words and photos have the power to inspire people. Why does it matter?
- “Knowledge without love will not stick, but teach someone to love something first, then knowledge will follow.” – John Burroughs
What are some of the lessons you’ve learned from working with adults vs children?
- There are a lot of similarities
- There are subtle difference in pacing, assumption of understanding, etc., but you are still telling stories about a cause you want them to fall in love with
- “Facts and figures don’t stick, it’s love” – Jeff
