‘Wander Lust’ solo photography exhibit by Susan Moore

“Wander Lust,” a solo show by photographer Susan Moore, runs June 20 to July 3 at Eastport Gallery.

Moore learned photography from her father. She was “taught to always have my camera,” she says, “as well as a fishing pole with me, as I imagine he wanted me to be able to fill my soul as well as my belly. He taught me everything he knew until he passed when I was 14. Brokenhearted, I used photography to bridge the divide that now separated us.”

Once digital photography began, and film was “the old way,” the transition felt both exhilarating and treasonous to Moore — exhilarating because gratification was instantaneous and the boundaries were no longer, treasonous because she knew her father would have said, “It’s cheating, too easy — every image is precious, and deleting with a click is like abandoning a child.” 

Attend a Meet the Artist event at the gallery all day June 20. June gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The show will be on display through July 3.
