"I know I wrote about Zakk Bifrandt just a few weeks ago when I highlighted his circus pictures. But I cannot let this stunning photo go unremarked. He was inspired by Loreena McKennitt’s “Caravanserai” [to listen, click here] to create this picture in Second Life and that is what he did." Read more on the blog.

"Black and white photography has a unique ability to capture the essence of a subject or scene in a way that is timeless and evocative. While color photography can be used to great effect to convey the vibrancy and emotion of a moment, black and white photography allows the viewer to focus on the image’s composition, form, and contrast. This interpretative role is what makes black-and-white photography so powerful and enduring." Read more on the blog.

"December brings with it two evocative and personal exhibitions on the subjects of Christmas, the human condition and the world at large. They are presented by artists I greatly admire for their ability to give us pause for thought through their narrative whilst also offering us the opportunity to appreciate them for their pure artistic quality. Given this, and the fact that these exhibitions are being shown in the halls of the main gallery space at the Kondor Art Centre, I’ve opted to write about them in a joint article."

"There are big changes to our art gallery. Our "home gallery" (a small part of our collection but with inter-regional teleports to our other locations) will remain at Sirinial in Bellisseria. However, we are relocating our historic home – the Airship "Limoncello" – and the LG Tower. Our proprietor, Dave (Lord Junibalya) has taken up Linden Lab's offer to Premium+ members of acquiring a homestead without first buying a full region." Read more on the blog.
