Jim Moyer started coming to the village of Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania in the late 1950's, when he and his parents, brother and sister lived in New Jersey. In the early 1960's, his parents built a cabin in Eagles Mere. For more than 55 years, he has come back to the mountain annually. Jim and his wife Tay recently re-built the cabin, where they now spend as much time each year as possible. Jim is a graduate of Yale and Virginia Law School. He served full time on the federal trial bench in Louisville, Kentucky for nineteen years as a United States Magistrate Judge. He continues to serve part time in that position. Jim's study of photography accelerated when he stepped down from full-time service as a judge in late 2014. Since then, he has photographed landscape, architectural, and documentary work during several months each year in Eagles Mere and the surrounding region of the Allegheny Mountains. He has pursued wildlife and landscape photography in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Patagonia, Canada and Alaska, and has photographed extensively for non-profit groups.
