With photography, as with writing, it is easy to be distracted. Selling, promoting and delivering finished products can become evil diversions from what really matters - creating. The solution? For writers it is to write every day. For photographers it is to shoot new images every day. This page is my attempt to fullfill that need.

Glacial Moraine - 2/14/06

I often exhort students to carry their cameras and look for photographic opportunity. This image is an example of heeding that maxim. Like many others, I often find myself commuting to or from jobs at the moment when the sun and earth engage in the most passionate dances of light. Only I am equipped with cameras and willing to interrupt my commute.

Here clouds, mountains, sky and sun come together in that dance over a pile of glacial moraine left by the last ice age, on the border of New York and New Jersey. This light lasts five to six minutes, about that of a tango. Then it is over. I pack my camera, clamber back into the car and continue to my appointed tasks.

Enjoy,
Michael Zeugin
