Bayeux Tapestry
A colourful and vivid telling of the Norman conquest of England on a 230 foot long embroidered cloth. There are many unique figures and Latin phrases that adorn it. The most vivid scene depicts the Battle of Hastings.

Rucellai Madonna by Duccio
An excellent example of chiaroscuro, this piece is three-dimensional, making the throne upon which Mary sits with infant Jesus seem solid. Jesus appears to have some weight. Mary appears to be a full bodied figure, and not flat like other period works depict the human form.

Holidays on the Harbor ...

Elizabeth City's Downtown Business & Professionals Assn. is doing activities all this week for the holiday season and they're calling it Holidays on the Harbor. Part of that they are doing something called Find The GINGER BREAD MEN, where certain downtown businesses have a gingerbread man somewhere in their store and throughout the week locals and visitors can go around, try to find these gingerbread men, once they find them get their forms stamped ... then turn their forms in at Page After Page Bookstore ... then tomorrow (December 12th) at the Holidays on the Harbor event in Mariners Wharf park (click here for more info) they'll announce the winners for this along with other activities they're planning on having there. Anyway ... those same businesses (well most not all) are participating in a business holiday decorating contest (about 14 businesses). And I was asked to be one of the judges. So, today after work I went around and judged which storefront I liked the best. And I have taken photos of my top 3 ... plus some others ... but here are my top three:

#1 - My Winner - Selig's Jewelers


#2 - Firefly


#3 - Page After Page Bookstore

The official winners will be announced tomorrow ... but I just wanted to share! =0) I hope everyone's holiday shopping is going good. I have barely even started mine. =0/ I guess I should start this weekend. *hahaa*

At the end of March my family and I went to the Wright Brothers National Memorial which is located in Manteo, North Carolina (on the Outer Banks). If your into aviation and/or history this little Museum and Memorial markers are really neat to check out. *Click photo on the right to see it in a bigger format.

Here is a cool shot that I took of the 2009 VB Polar Plunge of everyone going into the water ... yet I fixed it up a bit. It really was a cool event! ... I know I have promised videos to come and they will just give me another day or two ....

If you have any questions please let me know.

Take care, Jess

{Weekly Snapshot} 1-12-09

To the left is a shot of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Elizabeth City, NC; that I took during my December E. City photo shoot.

-------

Things have been a little slow here for me, getting out of the holiday rush and now trying to find out where things are heading. As some may be aware my husband is in the USCG so that means we move around every few years. So, as of right now we are waiting to find out if we are going to be getting relocated or not this summer. But I will keep you updated as to what happens. However, if you have anything coming up this spring please keep me in mind since I won't be going anywhere until the middle of the summer, if at all. =0)

So, please let me know how I can best serve you.

Take care, Jess

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

I don't know about you .... but I am soo excited because it's snowing outside right now! As I may have mentioned before .. for the past 3 1/2 years I have lived in Elizabeth City it has never snowed in November! We usually only get one snow fall a year and that is in January ... during the middle of the night .. when no one gets to see it. But this morning my husband left early for work .. then came back in to wake me up because of the snow. I'm soo happy!! As it definitely makes me feel the holiday spirit in the air!!!! =0)

Here are some pictures from this morning of my dogs (Paige & Surka) and me ....






Have a great day!! I'm gonna go back to playing in the snow!! =0)

Take care, Jess
