What I Like #39
November 21, 2011
I have been a bit grouchy with Second Life lately what with the unfathomable inconsistency of shadows on the Mac platform and lag and crashing and the like. And yet, with all its faults, glitches and inconsistencies, everyday it gives us the opportunity to experience stunning otherworldly beauty, to connect with people around the globe [...]

More Filtercam HUD
November 18, 2011
My last blog post about the FilterCam HUD and the new expansion pack update was a little lackluster in the photos. So while messing around trying on mesh on my chubby avatar I decided to take some photos. I have no idea why but for some reason I cannot say the word ‘draw’ on open [...]
What I Like #38
November 17, 2011
The primary focus of my column has been on the subsection of Second Life® photographers who blog – mostly in fashion blogs and just one or possibly two non-blogging photographers or graphics artists working in Second Life. There’s a difference in purpose and scope between the two kinds of photography, yet there are a few [...]

November 14, 2011
One of the hardest parts of preparing the column is struggling against the common human condition of insularity. It’s easy and fast to go to the blogs that I know will be excellent today because they are excellent everyday. It’s harder – and getting harder all the time – to find new blogs and new [...]

What I Like #36
November 11, 2011
This thirty-sixth column feels like a milestone. Perhaps my brain is more suited to a duodecimal system rather than the decimal system we use in everyday life. There are good reasons for being a dozenalist, but that’s something for a different kind of column on a different subject. It did make me look back [...]

Vintage Fair for Men Part The First
November 10, 2011
So I finally got a chance to head down to the Vintage Fair and was pleasantly surprised by the selection of things for men. Below is one of the outfits I picked up (And a gatcha skybox from there and furniture stuff) The outfit is called “Teddy Boy” it comes from Starchild Designs and [...]
What I Like #35
November 7, 2011
One of the qualities I love in photos is the ability to distill vast amounts of input into something singular and discrete. Letting one snap of a startled mallard on still lake waters on an autumn morning express the essence of the end of the summer or a shot of rime-covered scarlet maple leaves tell [...]

What I Like #34
November 4, 2011
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. This introduction to William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence has always seemed to me the very definition of art – capturing a moment that illustrates a world [...]

ElvenMyst closes in Second Life.
November 2, 2011
I’ve not heard of the ElvenMyst community but I always find it a little sad when I hear of a Second Life community closing down. Here’s a direct link to the article: End of an Age — The Closing of ElvenMyst. While they make it clear that they are not leaving SL as a response [...]
What I Like #33
October 31, 2011
I like head shots. Nothing catches my eye like a great closeup that zooms right in on the face. Unfortunately, in the default camera view in Second Life®, we get a terribly unflattering closeup. It’s easy to fix as you can see in this photo from a tutorial I did for Linden Labs Fashion Week [...]

Guns, explosions and FilterCam! What more can you ask for?
October 28, 2011
What more can you ask for? I had never used FilterCam2 before the other day. I had purchased FilterCam for friends as gifts but never thought to get it for myself, mostly because I am horrible at photography in Second Life (and lets face it Real Life too!). But Codie, of Mechanized Life, asked me [...]
