Spotlight on Mike Moore, 12th grade
Howard W. Blake High School, Tampa

 

Artist Statement
--Mike Moore

I enjoy photography and the creativity that the darkroom allows. As a student, I am still discovering the direction that this art form will take me in. I try to capture natural life scenes around me and use darkroom techniques to create unique and special effects.

I find my images simple and pleasing as well as complex and full of questions; I hope that I can take the art of photography with me throughout my lifetime.
