I think part of the problem has been that the purpose and motives behind this thread were unclear.  I hoped that legitimate questions would elicit reasonable answers, but I find the reaction to questions defensive; this suggests to me that you had not considered how the subjects of your exhibition would feel.  To go on to regard concern as 'drama' further suggests to me that you are determined to have your 'fun' regardless.  I'll have none of it.

Aw no!  Are you on your way to take down my hypothetical exhibition?

My point is that if the exhibit is supposed to be all in good fun, then it'll avoid having images that could upset the people in them. It doesn't need life-changing consequences to matter. It doesn't need to break any laws. It should be enough that people are hurt for the sake of the entertainment of others.

This is a lot like the practical joke issue. If the target does not find it funny, it's not a joke. But often when this happens, people will bully the target, telling them it's just a joke and they should lighten up. No laws are broken, but it's still a jerk move.

You immediately agreed with the person who disagreed with me and said I was paranoid. You don't have to agree with me, but please be honest about it. There's no need to pretend you appreciated it when you thought it was a load of cobblers.

I thanked you for the information you brought up, which, I feel, was more objective and highlighted things I might not have considered. 

Callum never called you, personally, paranoid...  That being said, I do agree with every single word Callum wrote.  How that makes you feel belongs to you. I’m not interested in your drama.  This whole thread has been tainted with exaggerated assumptions.

I can agree with things you both said. This is a discussion, not Game of Thrones, people.

With respect, so what? There's no breach of RL privacy or consequences. Are you seriously suggesting you'll be at some important inworld Sansar meeting and others will say "Ha! Look, it's that weirdo we saw in the gallery. Skip his question"? Will you never get inworld club hosting work again?

Just seems a fun idea. The objections seem paranoid and odd. 

 

Thanks SL gods for your existence.

Perhaps an answer to my question, next?

Whatever you consider a good clean fun situation would be what I’m initially looking for but if you have pictures of individuals you know would agree to be part of that kind of concept because, for example, they are creatively humorous in their own characters and it’s something they thrive to share with the SL community... then that would be my personal reference to “a strange character” I feel would contribute to this project. 

 

I’m more than willing to exchange views and ideas in-world, also, if anyone feels compelled to reach out to me.

The issue I can see is the framing. If someone takes a picture of me at a public party, this isn't generally going to be a problem. I've knowingly entered an area where pictures are allowed and gone to a public event. When people have done this, they usually send me a link, because the point is to take a nice picture and they're hoping I'll like it.

If someone takes a picture of griefing me at a public event, this isn't the same thing. It's setting me up to be mocked.

If someone includes a picture of me doing nothing much for "look at these weird characters" it's also setting me up to be mocked. This wouldn't be the same as taking a picture for "look at these creative avatars".

This is something you can work around, but it takes some sensitivity to the issues, rather than thinking there aren't issues. A simple statement would be that people need permission from all those in the picture, unless it's a big crowd scene. And to avoid any that basically boil down to, "Look at this weird person, let's laugh at them!"

Thank you. ❤️ This is the kind of information I was hoping to get.  I much appreciate your constructive input.

I'm shaking in my pixel boots, you guys.  What an eyeroller.

[Your weirdest moments in SL caught on cam]

I encourage you to listen to your guts, Selene.  I'm more than ok with you keeping to yourself.

I would genuinely like to know what's the difference between what I'm putting on the table and projects where photographers come together and do an exhibit together...

Is it because I'm offering to pay for the pictures? That would not make them mine in any way.  And I can take this offer away if it's all that stands in the way...

About privacy...  Avatars privacy.  Haha!   There are videos on Youtube from Second Life (I'm thinking of trolls, for example) and I doubt everyone signed a consent form.  Also... hard to identify specific avatars on images when we buy a mesh head that hundreds of people are wearing simultaneously...  Well, thank you for the laugh.  I would be horrified to be a case of SL privacy invasion jurisprudence.  

That being said, I do invite anyone with signed consent forms and free spirits and also a love of living on the edge to submit their images for no money at all.  Free drinks.  If you promise not to drive.

Copyrights and drama... Really..!  I find it a bit extreme.  It's not like I intend to publish and sell a book with this idea.  It would be a temporary exhibit. I'm a bit confused as to why it would turn out wrong in any way? @_@

Hello SL boys and girls!

 

  I would like to make a small exhibition of people's weirdest/funniest/most entertaining moments caught on cam in SL.  I think we've all had our share of interlopers, strange characters, laughable moments and thought it would be fun to collect images of those moments and share them in a gallery for a short while.

I'm offering to pay 100 lindens for each image I will use.  If I decline using your image, I won't make any payment.  If you decide to send me your images, this means you allow me to use it in the gallery for the exhibit without any more compensation.

This is for fun, it will be free to all of course.

If you have questions or want to send me your pictures, you can find me in world most evenings.

Thank you for your interest!

[We would like to adopt a pet in SL]

Hello, friends!

  My partner and I have been dating for about a year and a half.  We're currently engaged and looking into eventually getting married and starting our little family in SL.  Like most responsible couples, we thought it'd be a good idea to start with a pet (plants are also welcome! :D).

We're laid-back, fun and spend most of our time together.  We're looking for someone who likes to RP a pet in SL and we don't really mind what gender or species you are but we're adamant about two things: 

-  We're looking for someone who's financially independent.  We have a home and lots of love to offer you.

-  We're looking for someone who uses their avatar exclusively as a pet.  We're not looking for a shifter of any sorts.  You can decide to talk or not, we're welcoming your personality with open arms, but prefer to avoid the confusion of several personalities in one avatar.

I feel it's important to mention that so far, our family only consists of us both but that we are planning to adopt kids within a year or so and are open to possibly having an extended family if we meet the right people for us.

We are usually in-world after 4 PM SLT on week days.  Kuruk stays around much later than I do.  He is also there more often during the weekends, while I am in-world about two weekends a month.

If you feel we could potentially be a good match for you, please, get in touch with us!
