Camille Pissarro Gallery, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Born on St. Thomas on July 10, 1803 in the town of Charlotte Amalie, Camille Pissarro is probably the Virgin Islands most famous native son. He is considered to be the leader of the Impressionism movement of painting. Local boy makes good!
Pissarro lived in St. Thomas as a youth, leaving to attend boarding school in Paris, then returning to St. Thomas in 1847 to help his father run a dry goods business. The Pissarro family operated a general store in what is now known as the Pissarro Building, at 14 Dronnigens Gade in Charlotte Amalie. The family lived upstairs over the store.
At boarding school in Paris the director noted his artistic talent and interests, and advised him to take advantage of his life in the tropics by drawing coconut trees. The young Pissarro took his advice, and took his sketchbook with him when his father sent him to the port to supervise arrivals of merchandise. He drew what he saw in the harbor and around the island in his spare time.
However during the following 5 years of working in the family business while trying to become an artist, Pissarro did not get his parents permission to devote himself completely to painting, so he ran away to Caracas, Venezuela. He was 23 at the time, and while he was there he studied under Fritz Melbye, a Danish painter from Copenhagen. In Caracas her produced drawings, watercolors, and paintings, signing many of them as Pizzarro. As he noted in a letter to an art dealer and collector:
Living in Saint Thomas in 1852, employed in a well-paying business, I could not endure the situation any longer, and without thinking, I abandoned all I had there and fled to Caracas, thus breaking the bonds that tied me to bourgeois life. What I suffered is incredible, but I have lived: what I am suffering now is terrible, much worse even than when I was young, full of zeal and enthusiasm. Now I am convinced that my future is dead. Yet I think that if I had to start all over again, I would not hesitate to follow the same path.
Pissarro eventually returned to St. Thomas and his parents gave him their support as a full time artist. He then left the Virgin Islands for Paris, where he eventually became the leader of a group of painters that included Renoir, Monet, Degas, and Cezanne, who formed the initial Impressionistic style of painting.
Pissarro was an active painter up until the time he died in 1903.

Miracle on Main Street - Lighted Boat Parade 2014 — St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
St. Thomas ushered in the season island-style, with the annual Miracle on Main Street, on Friday December 19, 2014. This downtown event, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, was a wondrous night of holiday cheer, music and shopping.
By far the most popular portion of Miracle on Main Street is the Lighted Boat Parade. From 6:30 pm the harbor glows with a stunning spectacle of boats on display with a lively holiday spirit.
Boats are judged on the originality and creativity of their decorations and lighting. There are several judging categories: holiday lighting, amount of lighting, creative use of lighting and originality. There is also a prize for the boat that traveled the farthest. This will really get you into the Christmas spirit and is magical to see.
Don't miss Miracle on Main Street next year, it's the holiday event of the season.

Virgin Island firms struggle after hurricanes | Money Talks
The hurricanes which hit the US Virgin Islands in September 2017 caused widespread devastation. Among those particularly hard hit were the hundreds of farms on the island. Livestock was killed and buildings destroyed. But many businesses that weren't necessarily affected physically have also been struggling. The islands are rebuilding. But as our North America Correspondent Jon Brain reports, many people fear that the next hurricane - if and when it comes - will put them out of business once and for all.

In this video, I walk you through 6 easy steps you can take to get interesting photos while on your travels. You're going to want memories of those amazing places you visited around the world. Instead of having photos of you just smiling and looking into the camera (which are totally fine, BTW!), why not create photos that tell a story. You can express how you feel in a location and put that into your photo.
I used my Sony a5100 for all of the travel photos I took in this video. Even if you don't have a DSLR or a mirrorless camera, most of these tips still apply to even the most basic cameras, like your phone.
Traveling isn't just about the sights you see, but it's also about the experiences. Reflecting that in your photos isn't too challenging. This video has some of the best photography tips I can give to even beginners who just want nicer vacation photos. I've learned these tips over a course of 15 years doing photography. A lot of trial and error has brought me to this point and now I'm sharing these tips with you, so that you can get to those amazing photos faster than me!
