Abstract
We develop a spinor equation of the electromagnetic field, which is equivalent to the Maxwell equation and has a similar form as the Dirac equation. The spinor is the very conjugate momentum of the vector potential in the Lagrangian mechanics. In this framework the electromagnetic field described by the spinor exhibits the SU(2) internal symmetry. The quantization and the problem of longinal and scalar photons are disscussed.
