I love taking pictures on SL, finding the best backdrop or booth that day which suits my mood, then shopping for the perfect outfit to wear, expanding my ideas onto a picture, it is a lot of fun. However, I recently had the pleasure of watching a tutorial on how to do it better by Boston Blaisdale, and I am thrilled to share this with everyone. The URL is www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXcghPjJQ84 and I assure you, this is one of the best tutorials I have watched since Strawberry Singh stopped doing them. He also does tutorials to help everyone get that mesh body done perfectly.

I attended Audace Modeling School many years ago and loved it so much. I am grateful they taught me how to pose, how to style an outfit and how to be the best I can be. Yes, you do get free outfits to model on the runway, however, you are responsible for styling it, which means you buy the hair, hats, the jewelry, nails, shoes and poses to show off this outfit. I learned a lot, and will be forever grateful for all those that taught me.

I have made so many new friends on SL through photography and for that, my life has been so enriched. I try to fav as many every day as I can, because who does not get a smile when they see someone liked their work.

I like to take pictures as my mood fits me, one day I like to do a landscape, the next, dogs, cats, animals, and then I do love to pose! I love to collab with others too, as long as I am not asked to get naked or do any kind of porn, there is a time and place for that, but to me, it does not belong on flickr. Erotica, on the other hand, if done tastefully and does not reveal a lot of the avatar body, can be enjoyable. I have always thought, "leaving a little to the imagination" is always better.

However I am recovering from lung cancer, and some days I just do not have the strength or desire to come on SL. Please forgive me for that. I can go a week or two and not come on, I think cancer does that to you. I do know it changes your perspective completely on life and what is important now, and what is not.

So let's all just have fun, smile every day, and go take those pics!
