Orah Moore- I began my photographic explorations in Dewitt, New York, as a child of twelve with my grandfather camera, a Kodak Retina III. In high school I acquired black and white darkroom skills which opened a whole new world to me. In my late teens I ventured out to the Colorado Rockies amidst columbine and pine trees that smelled of vanilla. Mountain vistas seeped into my veins and found expression in color photography.
