Enniv played a wonderful set of improvisations to my SL photographs on display at PK Works Gallery on December 13th.

You can listen to the concert via the podcast.

Black Swan Glamour

I experimented with studio lights for this shot. This dress is absolutely beautiful. It is the Black Swan inspired dress from Haute Style & Co. I am also wearing the Fleur’s Black Swan #3 skin. I feel so glamorous.

Spontaneous photoshoot

I was helping my sister, Katana Tigerpaw, take a photo for her entry in the La Palmita photo content. America was also there and when she saw my camera (a fabulous gift from Katana) she asked me to take her picture. So we had a spontaneous photoshoot on the beach. I forgot to change my graphics settings but I think they turned out ok (with some help from photoshop).

Virtual Art Gallery Opening

Admiration, originally uploaded by Verde O.

Yesterday I attended the opening of the Virtual Art Gallery featuring work by Indy Lockjaw and Bavometh Beurling (Isla del Sol 28, 189, 21). Lockjaw’s male nudes were at times striking. Beurling focused on portraits of avatars at the club Kromatic. Some of those shots caught my eye as well. Both artist have books of their work for sale at very reasonable prices (less than L$100).

Updates on Flickr

I am slowing getting all my work added to flickr and getting portfolios organized there. This shot is one of my all time favorites. I took it in the attic of Kyoot’s store on Silent. The whole sim is a great place for photography.

Torley Linden’s Motivational Poster

THE BEGINNING: It’s a start. Keep doing., originally uploaded by Torley.

I saw this and perked right up. I have been feeling a bit frustrated with SL today. I have been working on my house forever and the doors still open into the wall. My poses are terrible, my photoshop skills are developing at a snail’s pace and the In-World Institute of Photography collapsed taking my whole library with it. It is good to be reminded of how far I have come and even if I am just a few steps beyond Ruth and plywood boxes, it is progress.

In the city

I spent a while in the photostudio taking pictures of this dress for eLDee’s contest. But it took me too long to process them, so I missed the deadline. Oh well, it was fun and I learned more photoshop tricks. I got tired of being in the studio so I went to the New York City sim to stretch my legs.
