Captured (PG)

I really love sci-fi and fantasy, so this time of year when Second Life’s Fantasy Faire is open is like heaven for me.  There’s not too much science fiction there, but the fantasy elements are incredible, and from a wide range of creators.  For this photo, I used the Puzzle Orb (Silver) from !Musa! as an accent piece, along with many pieces from Neurolab to create an alien atmosphere for the photo.  The real star of the show, though, is the restraint and pose set from Ama. and Nais, at the event ROMP.  They really give this photo so much feeling and emotion.

There’s also a non-PG version of this photo that is be on my Flickr.  As it is a Restricted-rated photo with full frontal nudity, you need to be signed in on a Flickr account to see it.  It is how I truly pictured this photo looking.

As soon as I saw this basketball gacha set that Bad Unicorn was releasing at The Epiphany, I knew I had to do a photo like this using one of the event-exclusive animations.  I just love how high-quality it all is, especially the rare basketball court.   With the right lighting, I think it really pops and becomes spectacular.

This hair is also brand new from Tableau Vivant at Kustom 9.  It’s a big change for me, but I like it!

Watching and Waiting For You

Watching and Waiting For You

I realized recently that it’s been almost 5 years since my last relationship in Second Life.  It can definitely be a lonely world if you don’t have anyone to share it with.  Originally, this photo had a rather different concept, but I couldn’t find the right pose or get the lighting the way I wanted it, so it ended up like this, on the upper floor front deck of my home, right outside of my bedroom.

Off In The DIstance

I came to a sad realization recently – I’ve been in Second Life for almost 12 years, but I have very few photos from that time.  Sure, I have memories, but I can’t go back and look at a lot of the great moments.  With that, I started posting photos to Flickr.  Soon, friends were urging me to start blogging, and I got a few people asking me where I got things.  So, here we are!  I guess more accurately, here I am.  For my first post, I’m in one of my favorite spots on the grid, taking a new profile photo to help symbolize this new start.  I’m here, and I’m not going back.
