Second Life's #1 Fashion and Gossip Rag
Why can people who have never studied art or photography take stunning photos and produce fabulous works of art? Don’t they have to study and memorize the principles of composition to produce great work? Well, of course not.

Photos can suggest dynamic movement or gentle stillness. They can capture that flicker of choice between moving here or there. The moment of indecision that leaves us waiting to see what happens or the headlong rush forward are both dramatic and intense and photos can capture and tweak us with suspense. They can also show [...]

A frequent issue that comes up again and again when fashion bloggers begin discussing their craft is what degree of photo-processing is appropriate.

I generally like to know the avatar’s name when I highlight their work, but with a name like Anon120 ; ), I figured I should not. He is an amazing artist and probably fears that he would get hundreds of requests for shoots and advice. Did I say his work is amazing? It is. His [...]

How much one likes a piece of art is very subjective, so much so that it can be affected by mood. This was brought home to me while browsing blogs for this column and discovering that I didn’t like a thing. So I had to ask myself if the quality of Second Life® photography fell [...]

So it’s been three months now and I am still thrilled to find and share the photos I like with you. Art has a way of bringing people together because even though we don’t all like the same kinds of art, we all are drawn to and moved by art. As long as we have [...]
Post-processing is a blessing and a curse in Second Life® photography. It helps us curve where we should curve and smoothes our twisted limbs, but it also makes us wonder how realistically something is portrayed. Were flaws processed away? Were glitches smoothed over and breaks in the texture hidden? You will find Second Life photos [...]
