GAINESVILLE, Fla. — John Moran will present photographic highlights from his 20-year search to discover the soul of natural Florida followed by a book signing from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at UF’s Florida Museum of Natural History.
The Florida Museum is hosting John Moran’s “Journal of Light: A Photographer’s Search for the Soul of Florida” traveling exhibit from Saturday (Sept. 24) through Jan. 2, 2006. The exhibit features more than 50 color photographs of Florida wildlife and environments with an emphasis on Florida waters.
The exhibit is based on Moran’s popular 2004 book, “Journal of Light,”
