Critics Review
For residents, a reminder of Florida’s enormous capacity for natural majesty; for tourists, it’s a remarkable souvenir of the mystique of a rare place…. Moran’s essays resonate with an honesty and compassion that fully inform the art behind the photographic technique. His words express a sensibility that is as authentic as it is admirable…. [A] subjective ode of wonder and affection and art. - Bill Belleville, author of River of Lakes: A Journey on Florida’s St. Johns River
