I finally caved in albeit too late for some of my older work but I have a pro account and will be doing more again. I have resumed weekly covers in my groups I manage as well.

I always enjoy participating in Charity events and shows and look forward to doing more.

My Flickr is not just my weird art, but also my journal of my SL. Most of my work is staged imagery, otherwise I would miss out on really enjoying/being present in a moment or would bore the other person to tears or into a coma getting lighting/shadow and camera angle right etc.. Images of SL music performers I go see (I take less of these pictures now) are/were for me just mini-timed photo challenges to surroundings (god-forsaken shit set to 'full bright') and editing. I figured some came out quite nice for quicky work so sharing them shared awareness for the musicians too. I always asked permission to post their pics and sometimes remember(ed) to give them a link.

I created and admin/moderate a few groups. I like groups with themes and ones that aren't just image dumping grounds. I try to moderate my groups with this in mind. It is my feeling that a well moderated/curated group is a more respectable place for ones work to be. To have ones work included with other artists who have taken the time, took risks, and put effort/feeling and deeper thought into their images is I think more respectful to the artists and art overall. I view my groups as little ever-expanding virtual art galleries that I curate, both with and without help. I love Mondays when I pick new cover images for them. It can be a very hard choice, there are so many fantastic artists. I always hope it makes someone's day a little bit too when they find out.

I have an RL background in Art & Graphic Design.
