Fred Moore, our featured fine artist/photographer: Born in the mountains of East Tennessee, raised in Connecticut on Long Island Sound, colleged in the Appalachian foothills of South Carolina and Georgia, and finally settling down in the historic village of Holmesburg on the banks of Pennypack Creek and recently retired to the ancient rolling hills of Huntingdon Valley, Fred Moore has been a fan of photography since childhood. Interest became an obsession with the advent of digital photography and its instant feedback. The sublime subtleties of infrared photography caught the eye early on. An inveterate sense for pushing the envelope led to experimentation with infrared inversions, thus InvertaColor. Moore, who is self-taught, was featured as the Spotlight photographer in the November 2008 issue of Photography BB Online Magazine.  The following is a quote from that article “My singular photographic achievement at this point might be my work with infrared inversions (negatives), which involves a high degree of forced color enhancement.  It took a while to figure it out and it is somewhat redundant and simplistic but so are the blues. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.  The inverted or negative image suggests that light is emanating from the inside, the opposite of what the eye expects. Add to that the “strange” color information available with infrared and you get something unique.” In addition to his passion for photography, Moore is enthralled with the history of Northeast Philadelphia and its surrounds.  He is also a bluegrass musician and songwriter long involved with the
Holmesburg Jam.
