Greetings from the "Melting Pot." I'm from the United States and I'm an amateur photographer and art lover in real life. I've spent the past few years learning and developing my virtual photography in Second Life. In SL, I do a variety of photographic work for clients, both personal and business. My passion is in creating pictures that tell a story and express emotion.

 

I like to use songs, real-life events, personal observations, poetry, music, and even friendly challenges to find inspiration. Flickr is my primary platform for expressing art. I have never wanted to create a picture just to create a picture. I always want to be motivated by something that I feel compelled to express. As for my photographic tools, I am aggressive about creating and manipulating Windlights to construct the ambiance I desire. For editing, I am somewhat of a rebel and refuse to use Photoshop or Gimp. My editing choice is Affinity Photo, a powerful photographic editing tool that is quickly replacing other far more expensive tools.

 

Gratefully,

Dusty

I've admired Dusty's photography on Flickr now for a few years. Dusty's approach, from my own personal interpretation of his collective work I've seen so far, is that of the creative romantic that yearns to express what is burning within. Dusty is also a prime example, in my view, of why both Second Life and Flickr can be such a great creative complement for those who want to express outwardly feelings and emotions that we have within us! Thank you Dusty for being just you!
