My good friend, and a wonderful photographer, GM Nikolaidis and his lovely wife, Barbara Nicholls invited me to the grand opening of GM and Sky Hye’s photo gallery this past weekend. It was such a lovely event! There were several in attendance and we all enjoyed the soothing piano music provided by RockPianoman Pienaar. I had not met Sky before, but I did know from experience that GM’s work was fantastic. It was beautiful to see again. He has done some shoots for me in SL, but the work displayed in his gallery is from RL. He has a unique eye for style, feel and arangement of a photograph, I feel. The colors that come out in his photos, the alignment of the pictures…the whole feel is just beautiful and I had to purchase at least one for my house. They are photos I can look at over and over and enjoy the serenity they give.
Sky’s work is more painting…and it too is beautiful! Some of her work almost has a Monet-feel to it…although its been a while since I was in art school, so I could be off! I particularly liked the series of work she had along the back wall…just small prints…one of which I picked up was a shell lying in the sand. I want to go back and get more from both of them!!
Be sure to check them out for yourself…they are located at centro italia (63, 161, 22).
Here are a few shots from the event:
