I have spent many years in the photography business in RL, shooting mostly big beauty pageants and travel photography for the tourist industry. I also had a studio...and my favorite photos were up-close portraits. Although I joined Flickr in 2014, my first upload was in 2016, and I had I snapped many photos in SL prior to that.... and if you look at my second Flickr photo, you will see that I really got into Flickr in 2019.... and that I have uploaded a few thousand photos since then! Photography has always been fun for me, whether I got paid for it or not.... and if my cameras can make someone happy, I am happy! Maybe they will catch YOU some day! I spend most of my time here exploring, or in blues or latin music clubs, or in the studio! By the way, if you see my studio, you will notice that my fave photos are still up-close-in-your-face portraits! Feel free to say hello!
