“Through My Viewfinder” is a survey of photojournalism by Moore, who has worked at the Tracy Press from 1997 to the present.

Moore Glenn has captured the Tracy community through events, sports, news and human-interest stories within the tens of thousands of pictures he’s taken on assignment.
This unique exhibit includes both images featured in the newspaper, as well as others that never reached print. In documenting momentous and heartbreaking moments, as well as everyday life, Moore’s images share and preserve the story of Tracy.

Moore is a Tracy native and an award winning, celebrated photographer working in the Central Valley for over 36 years working in film and digital media.

Moore holds a BA in Journalism – Photo communications from California State University, Fresno. He served as a staff photographer for the Turlock Journal from 1988 to 1997. He joined Tracy Press in 1997 as a staff photographer, and advanced to his current position where he manages photography operations.

In addition to the diverse photography assignments that have made him a recognizable community member, Moore also produces social media content, writes news and covers breaking stories.

“I have been privileged to be able to tell the stories of my hometown, the triumphs and tragedies, the ordinary and the unique events that make up our lives in Tracy,” Moore said. “ From the Cantu Murder case to the Royster Tire Fire, to our City’s solidarity and courage in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks, it has been an honor to look within and capture history through the lens and with the community.”
