Moreno
Colorado Mountain College
Glenwood Springs, Colorado
In Sight
Elizabeth graduated in December from the college with an associate degree in
applied science for her professional photography studies. A short-term goal
is an internship at a newspaper; long term, a career as a photojournalist or
documentary photographer.
The photographs here are among those she took last summer at a nursing home
in La Paz, Mexico. “For over three months I talked with the people and
photographed them,” she says. She titled the resulting portfolio of images
Ignored Voices. Of the project, Elizabeth writes, “Because of our fear
of death [elderly people] are commonly tucked away out of sight, voices ignored.”
Her images are an attempt to “challenge the viewer to think about the
finite nature of our physical existence.”
You can see more of Elizabeth’s work at her website, emorenophoto.com.
Elizabeth Moreno was recommended by Buck Mills, coordinator of the professional
photography program at Colorado Mountain College.
