Va Va VOOM!

The reaction I received was so flattering... it went something like this..."Is that really me?!"

Yes my friend, it is!

And one more that is geared more for the mature eyes
HERE.

Kyndyl - Snow White

A very lovely model to work with. I love it when I can match an avatar to the perfect background.

SL Photo Contest Calendar

A brain storm has brought about an idea. One that I know has been tried before, and one that I do not expect miracles from, but one that I do hope helps many people on many levels.

The SL Photo Contest Calendar is a calendar of events held for photographers by anyone... although contests are our main focus at this time, and we are starting slow, our hope is to be able to give photographers as much information about all the photography contests in world so that they can plan to participate in as many as they can.

This also brings the competitive level up on the contests. Most do like the voting game of the voting contests in world, but I have also found that the judged contests and other contests that do not allow you to vote for yourself, also bring a nice competitive edge.  The rules and regulations of all the contest will be posted and hopefully this might also spread the ideas and ways to make things fair and fun between all the hosts of the contests.

For more information, or to find our application, please see our (small) but informative sight at: http://secondlife-photo-contest.blogspot.com/ or come find my profile in world under Mysteri Fallen and join directly. Group participation is free for photographers.

What here and the other website for further information and the announcement of the events!

Talent Extra-Ordinary

In my travel's and doing business with the creative minds of SecondLife, I have found that there are so many great minds and visionaries of this virtual world. Each one of them has their own identity and genre.  The great mind behind Glorious Insanity Gallery is just one of those individuals.  Her work in getting tools of the trade and producing some amazing artwork for magazines, models and other high end clientele.

For those of you interested in her tools, I am currently using two of her items, and I must say... these are amazing tools and would highly recommend them.

Candid Images

I haven't been dong a lot of shooting until lately. But things have picked back up despite having to close down the large gallery and consolidate things into a smaller area.  (Note: Please check my picks on my in-world profile to get the most up to date landmark to the gallery.)

With that said, here are some really great sports that have allowed me to shoot them candidly and in action!

Lady Astartie

I have had the privilege of meeting some really amazing people in SecondLife and Lady Astartie is no exception.  Her talents and emotion show so deeply in her work that I couldn't help but bring her work into my gallery and give her the challenge of doing a shoot of me for a change.  She readily accepted and to my amazement, her perfection and abilities are astonishing... considering her "abilities" in real life.

In real life she suffers from a debilitating disease. One of which I have seen inflict many who have amazing eyes for art.  One such person who was so inspiring to me was Karen Wheeler but in meeting Astartie in world under different circumstances, I found her just as inspiring as I did Karen.  Each of them over coming some major obstacles in life to produce some amazing and beautiful images that I will cherish for years.

I will be uploading the images that Astartie produced of myself, but I thought I would share the images I did of the beautiful Lady in all her splendor as well.

Demon.. love?

After many hits and misses, I have been finally given the chance to connect with a wonderful European man who has quite the interesting avatar, bringing a new challenge all it's own.

~Click~ photography props inspired this shoot and I can't thank the builder enough for also contributing more of his props to my vastly growing inventory of photography elements in SecondLife.

There will be more images coming soon, but for now, enjoy "Demon... love?"

A Return

This series was inspired by the return of a passion by two very close and dear friends of mine. Their passion has far extended the boundaries of time and of cyber space.

To them both, I have enjoyed your company, your continued support, your inspiration and over all, the love that you both share with the world around you.  I hope that I might be inspired further and deeper from whatever levels you may offer.

Thank you for allowing me to share this with the world.

As Promised: Mommy N Me

I have been failing to update as regularly as I would like to, but thought you all might like to see some of the new images.

These "Mommy n Me" were inspired by a real life element that I have participated in in my art.  I hope you enjoy!

New Images

I haven't been very good about keeping things up to date here, but felt that it was time to update some of my readers about some of my escapades in SecondLife.

The gallery has grown... someone fed it some major growth hormones and poof!  It grew huge.  Its now capable of hosting and exhibiting my work as well as several other artists.  I have a new artist in there already so hoping to see some more excellent artists in SecondLife to come and join me in the gallery.  It's free and all I ask is that it keep in tune with the theme and thought process of the Designs of Mysteri Gallery and Photography element. 

On the otherside of the SIM you will see that some major work has taken place.  White Rose Sanctuary has found home to our SIM as well and for that, I am thankful.  White Rose is a D/s Sanctuary and school for those who need a place to recover and/or learn more about the lifestyle.  Whether you are new, or old, curious or experienced, we invite you to come and join us on discussions and even offer to volunteer to hold your own discussions.  Our schedule is just now building so please come and let us know if you are interested!

For now, I have yet to update the Flickr Slideshow, and now that I know I am able to exhibit artistic nudes in Flickr, I am hoping to be able to exhibit a few more here on the site.  Watch for the updates coming soon!
