John Moran

John Moran is a Gainesville-based nature photographer who would like to get back to shooting only pretty pictures of Florida, but reality keeps getting in the way. Seeking to show and tell the truth more fully as he sees it, Moran partnered with artist and art historian Dr. Lesley Gamble in 2012 to create the Springs Eternal Project. Their collaboration fills museum walls, educates decision makers and develops creative outreach inspiring Floridians to value, conserve and restore our precious waters. Moran has presented programs on water, democracy and the future of Florida to scores of civic, professional and educational gatherings from Pensacola to Key West. His programs have been called “exquisite,” “lyrical,” “eye-opening” and “like nothing I’ve ever seen.”
