Moran’s “Journal of Light: The Visual Diary of a Florida Nature Photographer,” a 20-year collection of photos and essays, was published in 2004 and in 2005 as a major traveling exhibit of the Florida Museum of Natural History. John Moran is the co-director of the Springs Eternal Project which seeks to inspire Floridians to value Florida’s springs and diverse ecosystems.
