Last week I took the liberty of crashing my girl Galena’s "Salon for Journalists" to practice my fledgling photography skills. The Salon was created in an effort to bring Miami journalists together to foster support, creativity and collaboration amongst an often-overlooked category of writers.
We all know that Miami is the same city where Elian Gonzalez temporarily “escaped” Cuba, Jim Morrison was arrested for flashing his you know what, a Zombie man on acid ate someone’s face and where not one, but two presidential elections were mired due to election-day “glitches.” So, if you ask me, Miami's lifestyle journalists are deserving of a Salon along with some extra loving. (Think: Salon + a happy ending).

The first of the Salon series was held at one of my favorite Miami Beach hotels, The Betsy, which boasts an architectural style that can be described as “colonial chic.” Built in 1942, it was originally named The Betsy Ross and is arguably one of the few non-Art Deco hotels worthy of architectural attention in the neighborhood.
