Photograph of the Month
*****
Fine-art photographer Zachary Singer has had a camera in hand since childhood—more than three decades now. His artwork is shaped by his exeriences in photojournalism: While shooting for Greenpeace and other environmental groups, as well as Native American tribes in the Southwest, Zach learned to quickly capture the essence of his subjects.
Zach has written dozens of articles on photography for magazines such as Outdoor Photographer, PCPhoto, and Digital Photo Pro, and has taught photography at California’s Santa Monica College. When time permits, he works with a select group of commercial clients.

Summit Lake in June, 12,800 ft.
Colorado in June can mean so many things; the coming of summer, gardens blooming, heat. But up in the high mountains, winter still holds reign, and when I head to these places, I take a heavy parka. Summit Lake lies below the peak of Mt. Evans, and when I was there in mid-June, it was cold, cloudy, quiet and blue. I was the only one there to feel the few snow flakes falling, and to appreciate this special place at twilight. Coming down the mountain some time after, thousands of miller moths crossed my path on their way up the peak, flying determinedly up the steep slopes like a winged storm, without pause even for my lights. It's truly another world up there, largely unseen in spite of its closeness to Denver. I hope I have helped make it more real for you.
