About Michael Lebowitz

 
I write and take pictures because it is my way of telling stories. I run because it reminds me, everyday, that I am here. I have no idea where the writing comes from. I started to write in order that I might understand what I was doing, to figure out why I was where I was, why I had done what I had done. I wanted to, needed to, write a different ending.

The photography tells a story in a very different way. The pictures seem to come from who I was and what I care about. When the words are coming honestly and the pictures are sharp and knowing, the stories tell me who I am today.

Michael also writes at Running Before Daylight and his photography can be seen at The Long Run Picture Company
