In 2003 , while a student at Cornell , Oakes became involved with " The Organic Portraits Project " , a project to produce a book of photographs about humanity 's connection to nature by New York City photographer John F. Cooper that had been put on hold due to the September 11 attacks . Oakes applied for and got a National Wildlife Federation Campus Ecology fellowship for the project , which was instrumental in moving the project forward . The book '' Organic Portraits : A Photo Book of Polaroid & Film Images '' was published in 2015
