Photojournalist Ross Taylor spent six months documenting a group of refugees as they camped, climbed and splashed through waterfalls.听The group, based in Aurora, is one of only three听all-female venturing crews in the state, and one of the first in the country to welcome refugees.听
Taylor, an assistant professor in CMCI鈥檚 Department of Journalism, traveled as far as the听Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve to听report on听the troop. He captured their adventures in听a photo series and story published听in听The Denver Post in June. For many of them, this was their first time camping.
鈥淭here were nights when we camped in subzero temperatures,鈥� he says.听鈥淚 was really impressed with their courage and their strength.鈥�
