Easter Wishes

It’s been a busy weekend for me, and I’m sure everyone else. Happy Easter!

My sister, Maddie, wanted to do Easter photos. She’s as big a photo fan as I am! Friday night when I finished working I IM’d her to find her cleaning out her inventory. So what did we do to celebrate? We went shopping! 😀 We headed to Ho Wear to check out the Easter outfits, and grabbed matching plaid bunny costumes. We did a bit more shopping after that, just to replenish her wardrobe ;), but that’s not the point of this post. This is about our Easter photo shoot.

Of course, we had to have a photo with peeps!

Maddie had this cute Easter prop. The funny thing was there are poses for three avatars with this prop, but you can’t choose which one you want. They are assigned by the order in which you sit on it. We hated the first one, so I had to drag in my alt to sit on the first pose so Maddie and I could use the ones we wanted. Then we had to use her again to switch positions. Ah, the ingenuity! And the value of having an alt handy 😉

Here’s hoping you all had a hopping good Easter with loads of goodies in your baskets and lots of fun with your families and loved ones 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: A Day in My Life – Everything You Can Imagine Is Real

Image PeepSideshow Darkward17 Comments

I’m going back to the basis for my blog for the Weekly Photo Challenge this week. “A Day in My Life” is a good place to show you a bit about my Second Life. I’m going to try to use photos I’ve not posted to my blog before, although you may have seen a variation of a shot I’ve used in the past. In some cases, my Second Life and real life blend and merge…I think, no matter what anyone says, that’s pretty typical.

So strap on your seat belts, grab your popcorn and here we go!

What day isn’t started without a nice cup of coffee or tea and a cupcake? Those chores will have to wait!

I spend a lot of my day trading messages with my SL sweetheart in real life. He moves from location to location while he’s working. We have a joke that I gps stalk him from the messages he sends me. I do love to see the different places he goes, and if he accidentally turns off his location services from his phone, he’s quick to turn it back on. I never ask him to, but he picks up from questions I ask that his thumb has switched it off. Clever girl, eh?

My photography and blog are big components of my Second Life. I spend a lot of time testing out poses and techniques on myself before I use it for a photo shoot. These are just a few shots of my guinea pig imitation 😉

And always, there’s time for shopping! Just a few pics from my recent skin-shopping adventure and some of the demo skins I tried.

And then, off to work. I’m a shift manager and host at Breaking The Rules, a rock club in Second Life. Trust me, it’s a great job…you get to listen to music, socialise and just get silly!

And there it is, a day in my Second Life, where everything you can imagine IS real 🙂

Neva River Revisited

I promised myself I would go back to Neva River before it closes to the public. It’s a beautiful place and I spent a couple of hours wandering around and taking photos. Alas, I haven’t created a single image from my wanderings that I really like. I used multiple windlight settings, as well as the region default settings, shot from a variety of locations using different poses, and still…

…meh.

Please don’t let these photos discourage you. Visit. Before it’s too late.
