I can't believe I did it!! This is such an amazing milestone for me!! I wanted to say thank you to everyone who's followed me and supported me this far. A very extra special thanks to those people who helped directly, my inspiration who got me into photography in the first place. My friends who showed me Black Dragon and how to use it. My fucking CHAMPIONS who patiently taught me photoshop from scratch because I'm too smol brain to watch any tutorials, I prefer hands on learning. When I see the comments and appreciation I get on my pics it really motivates me to keep going, grow, get better and do better. I'm always here to encourage others, teach, and collab because photography and blogging are the things I genuinely enjoy most in Second Life!
Ultimate thank you to Kirren for being my best friend, safe mental space, and supporter since the beginning. She has been in all my milestone pictures and will continue to be in all of them! She showed me how to blog, credit, and apply for sponsors so I owe it all to her and a few others! You know who you are!!

Detail of the external pentice stair (reconstructed) of the historic (1590s) Riddles Court in the Old Town of central Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
About Riddle's Court
Located at the top of the Royal Mile, and only a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, the history of Riddle’s Court extends back into the Medieval Era. However, the building as we understand it today was amalgamated and rebuilt by Baillie John McMorran in the 1590s. Its purpose was to be a high-status, multiple-occupancy dwelling, providing its residents with privacy as well as the convenience of a central location.
Its grandeur when first built is evidenced by the fact that it was the town residence of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and later Lord Chancellor of Scotland, Alexander Seton and in 1598 played host to a grand banquet attended by King James VI and his wife Anne of Denmark. It became known as Riddle’s Court after 1726, when George Riddell purchased and reconstructed the part of the site facing the Lawnmarket.
Like many other properties in the Old Town, the status of Riddle’s Court declined during the late 18th century when its wealthy residents moved to the newly-built and more spacious New Town. In the 1830s, the southern-most parts of the building were demolished and its façade reconstructed to bring it in-line with the new Victoria Terrace, commissioned as part of the 1827 Edinburgh Improvement Act.
Further parts of the building were demolished in the 1890s by Patrick Geddes. Geddes was a true polymath – a biologist and sociologist as well as a philanthropist, educator and town planner. His work at Riddle’s Court was motivated by his principle of ‘conservative surgery’, which aimed to preserve the most historically significant parts of Old Town buildings by demolishing the more dilapidated parts, making what remained more hygienic and suitable for modern living. Patrick Geddes converted the main part of Riddle’s Court into one of Edinburgh’s first student halls of residence. His motto ‘Vivendo Discimus’, ‘By Living We Learn’, remains carved over the entrance to the inner courtyard, a sign of how his educational philosophy continues to influence the use of the building and SHBT’s wider approach to learning.
Geddes’s attempts to rejuvenate Riddle’s Court were short-lived, and during the early 20th century the building reverted to its use as small, private dwellings. In 1946, the site was purchased by City of Edinburgh Council who oversaw its renovation in the 1960s and discovered the medieval painted ceiling in the north block. From 1951, Riddle’s Court became a regular venue of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in 1973, the headquarters of the Workers Educational Association.
In 2005, as the building once again fell into disrepair, the WEA sought to raise awareness of its plight and historical importance. Their call was answered by SHBT, who in 2008 completed a Feasibility Study for the building and were subsequently granted a 99-year lease by City of Edinburgh Council in order to restore the building and oversee its subsequent use.

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

"Last week was okay. One of the judges did not like my photo. That motivated me to come back stronger to prove that I deserve to be here :) We discussed with my mentor and we agreed that for this theme, it would be better to go back to my previous look, as it fitted the brand more than my pink look. I really like this outcome and I hope this will be enough to stay in the competition! :)"

Today, if you feel like I do, that we are surrounded, except when when we are together, by individuals that have no use or interest in Jesus Christ. Recently, I was asked by a very close relative, why I believed in such stuff? We were interrupted before I had a chance to respond. But the question, has caused me to deeply reflect on possible answers. Today, in our Gospel reading, we had the opportunity to hear about the transfiguration of Jesus Christ. Our gospel acclamation states the purpose of the transfiguration quite clearly: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased, listen to him.” So, we listen to Him. Listening, implies a deep and mature relationship with Jesus…and a love between us that motivates us to be like HIM. My answer to my loved one, would obviously include Jesus Christ, my guide, my companion, and friend. Who are they listening too?
This seems like a very difficult task for many of our peers. Recently, I was listening to a popular podcast, where an educated young woman had become disillusioned with her faith. She proudly stated that she was deconstructing her faith. Eventually, she chose a career as a spiritual director, where she gladly supports others in the process of deconstructing. She strongly avoids the name of Jesus Christ in her own spiritual journey and practice in helping others. She stated quite simply that too many people have been harmed by others under the banner of HIS name. It made me wonder who she is listening too now?
This reminds me of a similar situation in scripture: found in John chapter 6. Where Jesus is preaching about the Bread from Heaven-the Eucharist. He is equating that the bread is his body. “So Jesus said to them Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” (53) ) “After this saying many of his disciples drew back and no longer walked with him.” Who were they going to listening too now? I thought!
Jesus then responds with a heart wrenching question to his twelve disciples: will you also go away? Peters' response is beautiful stated “Lord to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” Because we are sitting and kneeling in our beloved church...we have a similar response…like Peter, James and John at the transfiguration event…we have the attitude that…it is very good to be here. This is where we listen to Him.
What are the benefits of listening to Jesus? Anastasius of Sinai, in his homily on the feast of the transfiguration in the 7th century states what we receive, beautifully:
“Therefore, since each of us possesses God in his heart and is being transformed into his divine image, we also should cry out with joy: It is good for us to be here—here where all things shine with divine radiance, where there is joy and gladness and exultation; where there is nothing in our hearts but peace, serenity and stillness, where God is seen. For here, in our hearts, Christ takes up his abode together with the Father, saying as he enters: Today salvation has come to this house. With Christ, our hearts receive all the wealth of his eternal blessings, and there where they are stored up for us in him, we see reflected as in a mirror both the first fruits and the whole of the world to come.” (End quote)
Peter, James and John had the awe-inspiring encounter with the transfigured Jesus, and it strengthened their faith for the purpose of sharing “the light” with the world. They had to come down from the mountain and face the complexity of a messy world. They did!
To change is painful. To be a Christian, a follower of Christ means that we have a deep bond with HIM. All relationships that are worthwhile, require us to adjust our lives accordingly. The purpose of our church…is to help form us into being a light for the world. Our transformation takes a lifetime, and this transformation requires us to listen to our conscience… for this is how we are guided in every moment and decision we make. When we receive the light of the world in the Eucharist, we are challenged to take this light, as it is reflected in our acts of kindness, into a dark and divided world.
Now let us prepare to meet Him in the Eucharist! Are we listening for HIS quiet voice within our hearts?

Once I saw that LegoZealot made a contest to redesign a Batman villain, I already knew who I wanted to do. I was already planning on remaking him, but this contest motivated me to make it even more creative than I had originally planned!
So, with that said, onto the fig!
First off, The suit design is one the back of the torso and leg as well. I wanted to make it seem like Harvey didn't have a problem with his scars (seeing as by that time Two-Face had pretty much already taken him over). In fact, he was proud of them. It made him "more colorful", figuratively and literally.
That's the story behind this, and I am proud of it! If you are thinking of entering the contest, keep in mind you only get one entry! The link to Zealot's contest info pic is down below. Gimme some feedback and, as always, stay frosty bros and broditas!

One of the key motivators of my work is preservation; The desire to create something of permanence in my life as a means of validation. Looking at history, it's clear that this notion of art as legacy is nothing new. Rulers across the centuries were compelled to create enduring monuments and commission works of art in order to immortalize themselves. Some succeeded, but most did not. As history continually reveals, there is little we can do to preserve ourselves. Our petty grasps at eternal life are no match for time. The digital mediums in which we now work will become obsolete, our records will decay, and our very existence will soon be subject to extinction. It's a scary fact that all we can really cling to is the moment at hand.
I collaborated on this piece with Chris. He had the idea to do a photo of me as a mummy and I mentioned the concept of self-preservation and we both went to work. He spent over two hours wrapping me, plus 3 trips back and forth to the store to buy more ace bandages because we kept running out. He also captured me at this very low angle, which I would not have been able to get on my own. I'm so lucky to have a nerdy artist friend who likes to do this with me in his spare time :)
