January 24 - Smooth Jazz and Canvas Pizazz
Hibiscus Gallery of Art founded by artist and owner, Beverly Jones (B.J.) of Saint Louis, Missouri, is situated on the historical grounds of downtown St. Charles County. Deep set cobblestone and soft lighting aligning the narrow curbs and people calmly walking their dogs only accent the already captivating décor of this artsy establishment. On assignment, I knew walking in that this night would definitely be a night to remember. The gallery, well lit with soft jazz sailing from Bose speakers invited me into the relaxing aura of this art filled space. The sweet smell of Jasmine and Peony teased my senses from décor appropriate Scentsy warmers. I watched as B.J. prepared for her clients' arrival with ease and a smile.
A few hours later, thirteen friends escorted by way of limousine sophisticatedly celebrated life and yet another milestone with an evening of champagne popping, wines, cheeses, desserts and laughter topped with an overflow of creativity and good times. I now understand the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words," but you need to see for yourself! I've provided a link to the album I created on Facebook on my company's page: Gem in i Photography and Graphic Design and a link to Hibiscus Gallery of Art company's page on Facebook.
Hibiscus Gallery of Art offers classes and workshops: Painting With a Sip; Blues, Paint and Beverages; Girls Nite Out; Couples on Canvas..Date Nite With Your Sweetheart; Wet Paint and a Workshop for Kids!

Life Through The Lense
Since Winter break from work and school, I've had quite a bit of time on my hands to familiarize myself with some technicalities of photography and to shop. Let's just say I've kept my father, my bandwidth and my bank card pretty busy!
One of the things I've enjoyed the most about my new found love is shopping for camera supplies on Ebay. I received in the mail this week, an external digital speedlite flash by Yongnuo, a deluxe flash bracket by Bower, a Vivitar wide angle lens with macro, a Vivitar 2.2 professional telephoto lens, a set of four Vivitar close-up macro lenses, a hard tulip lens hood, and a 5 piece digital filter kit by Bower. As you can see, I've been in heaven this week! I couldn't wait to try my newbies on and when I did the results were breathtaking. I grabbed one of my favorite bracelets from my ridiculously excessive supply of jewelry and snapped a shot with my macro lens. The details in the bracelet are breathtaking! I've posted a link below to the bracelet for your viewing pleasure :-)
As for more photography adventures, I discovered the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum located at 3415 Olive, 63103, in downtown St. Louis. This is the only museum in St. Louis dedicated exclusively to photography. Every first Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., they hold special exhibitions focusing on the art and science of photography. I didn't make it this Friday but the next one is scheduled for Friday, February 7 at the same times. To make sure I don't miss the next 11, I've plugged my calendar because like my favorite song by the rock group Aerosmith, "I don't wanna miss a thing." Until next time,
Your Moments. My Life.
