About this image
Aloe vera is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed plant growing to 24–39 in. tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 35 in tall, each flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 1 in long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil.
Aloe vera leaves contain phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrones, other anthraquinones, such as emodin and various lectins.

Disclaimer: Adam is a friend.
That being said, his work is amazing and had found a place in my home. This Chicago skyline on metal has always been one of my favorites. It sits neatly atop this Italian cabinet in our living room.
I've also had the pleasure of watching him work. He is painstakingly patient setting up for some of his shots. It looks like a lot of work, but the results are beautiful.
