I especially love photographing other photographers. When photographing someone that is intimately aware of what happens on both sides of the camera, there's a whole different feeling to a shoot. Kelly was no exception to this, and the shoot was absolutely a blast with conversations that ranged from linguistics and accents to the relationship of photography in the scheme of art history. I hope the photographs speak for themselves. You can see Kelly's work on her flickr page.

"I Never Travel Anywhere in a Hurry" (April 2012 at Taylor University, Upland, IN)
by Alexander Moore & Melanie Hall

Sculptural & Sound Installation composed of wood, drywall, plaster, 4 channel audio track, and speaker system.


When we enter a new room, we mentally reduce familiar features to almost nothingness, as if we don’t really want to see our true surroundings. Brick walls, tile floors, and false ceilings. If we’ve seen these individually before, then have we seen them at all?

There is unique connection between physical objects and the relationships of humans. Through an intentional awareness with our surroundings, we can begin to examine what seems like the chaos of how people relate around us. Like the components of a room that we reduce do mental images, do we reduce the people around us to our mental images of who we think they should be? Especially those of other faiths? Or do we settle for our own ideas, misconceptions, or simply what we've heard?

The stories that are playing are told by believers of five distinct world religions: Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Each person describes the faith that they possess.

"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them."

These are my two sculpture entries in the Mitchel Art Show at Taylor University, representing much of my work from the last year. The first of the two works is titled "3" and is constructed from concrete, wood, and steel. The second is titled "7" and was selected as the third place entry in the sculpture section; this work was constructed from concrete block, tree stump, and plaster. I'd also like to thank the faculty for selecting me as the three-dimensional studio artist of the year.

This is from a new series that I am beginning, documenting the beauty in my hometown before certain groups destroy the original essence of the town in the name of so called "beautification".

The first of the two photographs was featured along side the photograph in the previous post in the Mitchell Art Show at Taylor University, where this one received first place in the photography section. The particular print shown was a 16x20 silver gelatin print, which was purchased by the university for their permanent art collection. A very limited number of fine art prints of this photograph are available for purchase, please contact me for more information. Prices are negotiable.

Thanks,
Alexander Moore

For while I've really wanted to start a series of portraits of Artist. There is something very serine about the art making process that isn't always visible. This is Jessica, an art student at Grace College.

It was about 2 years ago when I photographed Holly for the first time. It was those photographs that started me on the path to the work I'm making now (inspired by the Kouros sculptures). Now that I'm where I am, I thought it would be interesting to photograph Holly again with the same studio setup.

Digital photography is unreliable. By unreliable, I mean that it is constantly changing, which is a bad thing. Good photographs emerge from practiced methods of working. Without this, photography can never make the move from a simple toy to actual art. If you look at the work from the masters of photography, their collection of work was made on one camera system, with one or two film stocks.

To make good work, an artist of any medium must have a fluency with their tools and materials.
