Each portfolio is created by “citizen humanists” who are well informed by scientific data, and examines “overlooked” or common “backyard” species such as the scorpion, the shrimp, the herring, the creosote bush, and the Columbine flower, to name a few examples.

Portfolios focusing on individual “overlooked” species might juxtapose images of non-charismatic or “overlooked” species at multiple scales (e.g., life in the rainforest canopy, mushrooms in the Northwest, shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, rhizomatic systems of “great trees”) with charismatic megafauna (polar and panda bears, whales, dolphins).
