Probably because you kind of are?

Where are you at, btw? It looks interestingly neolithic!

Friends asked me to post the process for the Red T-Bird shot. Basically playing with WL and blending layers in PS. Hope this is helpful

@BelindaN: You look completely stunning - you've done a brilliant job!

Meanwhile, I've fallen in love with LAQ. Never thought anything could tear me away from LeLutka, so moral of the story really is 'never say never' haha

One day at the hangout, I noticed the land catty-corner to it was being re-done from the naval base to something else. It's someone's shop but they have done a great job decorating the land and I couldn't resist from taking a picture as it made a great backdrop.

I'm fascinated by the idea of portraiture in SL. I'm particularly really interested in trying to catch "personality" through portrait photography.

Which is hard and a bit paradoxical. In RL, our facial expressions are probably the most visible and dramatic way in which we express our emotional state and our personality. In SL, on the other hand, that mode of communication is invisible, hidden behind an impassive blank mask, or (maybe not much better) generated through AOs and expression HUDs designed by someone else, and used by countless other people. My AO does, sometimes, express how I'm feeling, and something of my personality -- that's why I chose the one I did -- but it's almost coincidental when it matches my RL mood, like a broken clock being right twice a day.

So, I want to use portraits to communicate more deliberately something about personality and mood. And it's fake, of course: I'm painting expression on, rather than spontaneously expressing it. (This portrait took no fewer than 4 different kinds of animation HUD, all working together). But it's a really interesting challenge. And maybe I can catch something authentic about the person through a portrait of their avi?

This is a really great photo! And your own look now is absolutely lovely. (And I love the sweater.)

Wow, the lighting on that is amazing. Other than Bouncer Dude is 9 foot tall, I had to do a double-take, the lighting and color is so awesome I thought for a moment that was a real photo (hence the double-take) LOL Wow, awesome shot there.
