Art Box

Art Box is such a fun place to go and a must see. They have so many displays for you to try out and take pictures with. It will put you right into famous artwork. I only captured a few of them here.

 You can now get the famous "Anjelikka" action figure here :)

Yes of course...I will marry you :)

THE RETREAT

Machinima Open Studio Project

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.” 

We can meet in the park at midnight and it still feels like the first time. We kiss and chat for hours. I am so lucky to call Micheal my best friend who listens and vise versa. We all need friends to lift us when we are down, to make us laugh when we cry, to just be there when we need company.

You can find this lovely bridge in the park at the Machinima Open Studio Project. You can also find other cool spots to take photographs or make your new film here.

Verdigris

It was pretty fun to discover the photo booth at Verdigris and take some snapshots since I had nothing else to do and was just waiting for Micheal to arrive.

I saw this drunk avatar. Maybe she waited too for her partner, lol. 

This sim is actually a pretty cool place to come for shopping vintage items and take some amazing pictures. The building are so unique. You should try to stop by and look around.

The garden

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." 
— Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie)

I spend a little time in the garden and took some pictures. The good thing is that there have been some entries for the Photo-contest. YEAH :)

Have a beautiful rest of the week....don't forget to smell the flowers and stop to see the beauty that is around you. There is so much to see.

OMG....I almost forgot to mention this, we now have some official judges for the contest too...one of them is the famous Shoji who said he is delighted to judge for us. So, enter away.

It's a Photo Contest

Yeah...our first Spring Photo Contest is ready....I hope many residents will enter this...

Beautiful Nature

One of my favorite places to explore is where you will find nature all around you. Calas Galadhon is a lovely place. Make sure you landmark it so you can go back often and also visit the rest of the sims that are next to this one. Breathtaking!

It was so much fun to stomp the grapes and then have your own grape juice. I was just covered with the grapes all over.

Just Visiting Photo Contest

I was " Just Visiting" this sim to get some pictures taken for their photo contest. It suppose to have something about Easter in it, which isn't an easy task at this particular sim.
I did manage to take some shots and then ended up with a total different look.

Here is the actual entry:

I will let you know when the voting starts and I hope you will stop by and vote for my photograph.

So real!

Wow, so real some of these images look, yet they are taken in second life. I don't think I ever get tired of looking around for new spots to visit.

Funny :)

Ha ha ha, maybe it was something I said, but Micheal was just laughing away...
Oh wait, I remember now...I was a bit down and he started laughing and it was not to be mean, it was to get me laughing. I mean look at this, how can you not start laughing...
It worked Micheal, I am smiling...thank you :)

My entry for the Angel contest

We attend our first Wedding...

Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.  ~Charles Caleb Colton

It was lovely to be able to attend a wedding. I really enjoyed taking some special shots of the event.

Photo Contest

I entered my first Photo Contest in Second Life.
I see already now how it works, not much different than in real life...who you know and how many is the key.
LOL, that means if I get 5 votes out of 5 I am lucky. What matters is that I entered and I think my photo is pretty nice to represent summer.

The Looking Glass

The Looking Glass is really a beautiful sim....it always amazes me how creative people really are. I also appreciate the time this all takes to create. Wow !

I am really glad that I invited Micheal to come and explore with me. This was fun to walk around.

I even got to use my Photography skills and took Micheal's Profile picture. :) Thanks Micheal....

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” 
― C.S. Lewis

Picture Time

Well, I kind of thought about it and since I came to Second Life for photographs this would be a great opportunity to take some and get some feedback from Micheal. In his profile it showed he has been a resident much longer than me, so he must have seen stuff; or in other words he must have some experience.

I wanted those pictures to be sexy but not show much of anything.
