Glaser traded the creativity and artistry of general dentistry to utilize the same characteristic traits in photography when a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis forced an early retirement from practicing. Weather, foreground interest, perspective, and the play of shadow and light are the elements Glaser focuses on when composing an image. He has traveled extensively to hone his craft, visiting such natural wonders as Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks in the U.S. and Banff in Canada, along with the Smokey Mountains, Death Valley, the coastlines of Maine and Oregon, and Iceland and Hawaii.   

“There is something fulfilling about capturing a moment in time…particularly as the sun makes its first or last appearance,” Glaser said. “My photographs reflect an affinity for movement and sound; the latter reminiscent of a song, starting calmly, building strength, power and energy, until the shutter releases and the image is recorded as the ultimate crescendo.”
