About Kirk Moore

Artist Statement

Photography and travel have intrigued me since a trip to Egypt at age eleven with my grandmother.  I got hooked when the (pretty crummy) prints from my Instamatic camera came back from the drugstore.  It was amazing to see myself in a different time frame, relive the experiences, and share what I had seen with others.  After studying photography at the University of Colorado, and taking plenty pix for my frat, I graduated in Fine Arts.

Wanderlust, acquired from family camping adventures (and that trip to Cairo), has always been a determining lifestyle factor.  This precipitated numerous "hunting" trips, fully armed with film.  Bicycling from Denver to Los Angeles, kayak/rafting through the Grand Canyon, exploring foreign lands with World Campus Afloat, and traveling around South America in a VW bus were all formative experiences, but when I discovered airlines the world really opened up.

Until recently, I continued "feeding the need" for photography and travel by flying to Asia, Australia, Hawaii, and Europe.

"Seeing" is what photography is all about.  Understanding requires perception.  Photography makes me perceive better.  The camera frames my world, cropping chaos, so I can focus on things that stimulate a sense of beauty, mystery, art.  Consider these images as windows for your imagination.  All show another time and another place; and perhaps a few are timeless.  I hope you enjoy the journey.
