Photographer Clay Enos goes from shooting super heroes on the set of Watchmen to taking street portraits of random people. He shows us how to do a street-studio portrait session with a sheet of white paper, some tape, and a camera.

Can anyone tell me what this bug is? It’s small like a spider but up close resembles a scorpion. Yikes, this is not south Texas!

I have always wanted to fly. In the 60s they told us we would be flying to work by the 80s.  Well, in 2004 the FAA opened up a new flight class, the Light Sport Aircraft category.

This is the coolest thing since Wilber & Orville’s first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The IconA5 is in this new class. It seats two, goes on land, water and air and can fit in a garage and I want one -just as soon as I have a spare $139000 USD. The site is cool with videos. “ICON Aircraft’s sole purpose has been to bring the freedom, fun, and adventure of flying to all who have dreamed of flight. With these ground-breaking FAA rules solidified, ICON believes that consumer-focused sport aircraft can do for recreational flying what personal watercraft did for boating.”

I was watering plants when this snake slithered out. I backed away back to grab my camera. Click to see larger version then watch the short video (play in popup).

We arrived home to see this magnificent rainbow in the break of a turbulent sky.  As I stopped to help 80+ year old Nana out of the car she said, “Go get your camera! Don’t worry about me!” So, I did, thanks Nana. Hmm, I wonder if she is still in the car.

My dad planted two pear trees among other fruit trees before he passed. Well, last year we got a bumper crop of the best pears I have ever eaten. For several harvests I got a ladder and tied grocery bags to my belt loops until they were so heavy my pants were almost hanging off by the time I made it inside. I have a wonderful new appreciation for fresh pears – love ‘em! Thanks Dad.
