The art of digital storytelling

Mississippi River Water Journey Camp Video

In July I had the privilege to be embedded with summer campers and their counselors at University of Minnesota Mississippi River Water Journey Camp.

The assignment: capture highlights of two weeks of camp spent tracing the journey of water to and from the Mississippi River. 

We traversed the Twin Cities and met professionals that shared their knowledge about our water in St. Paul. Water from the sky, and drinking water from the tap.
An innovative environmental education camp, the children were handed digital cameras to document their experience and the photos became part of an exhibit they shared with their parents and the general public at the end of the week. The children’s photos are extraordinary. Equally extraordinary was my experience with them.

One of my favorite photos is subtle. The young camper placed her pink water bottle on the sidewalk and snapped the shutter with her feet in the frame. She documented the journey of water in her own poignant way.
