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!

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.

I bought this plant 2 years ago at the grocery store. It proceeded to die (I thought). But, I kept watering it and treating it like the other house plants. All of a sudden this year it came to life. Meet the sun star.
