Live Oak Plantation was another quail hunting estate like Judge Spooner’s, this one owned by Dr. Tennent Ronalds. As he had done in Faceville, Moore did a little hunting, but his main goal was to photograph the black staff and tenant farmers living there. In this case, Moore concentrated mostly on the staff members and their children. Except for photos #JRM0258 and #JRM0261, all of his work from this point on would be done with his new, larger camera.

Moore left Live Oak and returned home briefly before heading on a fishing and photography trip down the Nipigon River in Ontario, Canada.
