    Editing pictures is hard, I can't make it look good

    in Art, Music and Photography

    SL photos are fun, I really appreciate them and I think they're incredible, as many people do work with a lot of post-production, I take photos a little but I consider myself just average, as I don't have time to do a lot of finishing on photos. I generally use the official SL viewer for everything, and the photos I take of AV are usually using Vista's own AO without freezing pose, as if it were a fashion editorial photo in RL.
    When I want effects I use PS or MOVAVI, but this happens when I photograph my sets, I build them in the world, to show RL clients what the scenography of a show, or a theater show, or the displays for exhibitions will look like. of art.
    But I never lose sight of the freedom and pleasure of doing things, I think that's what really matters, the fun of making images.

    How Does Your SL Look Today?

    Yesterday evening was the second "dress rehearsal" for the performance element of my exhibition. It's about 35 minutes long, and works with the text associated with seven of my pics (this one is Ophelia). The actors belong to an acting company called the Avilion Cameo Theater, and they are frighteningly professional in how they go about this. (The head of the company is an academic who teaches drama in education in RL.)

    Fortunately, my contribution consists entirely of changing the background slides, and taking a bow at the end. And I only managed to flub that twice. I even managed to do a quick screen grab! Yay me!

    when will be? Is it open to the public? or invite only?

    I rarely talk about RL in SL, I've been here since 2007, and even my name is the same, and it's very easy to find me in RL, but I live in the Brazilian Amazon, and very few people from my city got to know SL at some point time. What is certain is that I did and still do in SL here much of what I do in RL, because I am a performer, I design scenography for music shows and theater shows, in addition to working at the secretary of culture in my city in the department of curatorship and setting up of exhibitions of art. In SL I already had a private island dedicated to fashion and decoration, in addition of course to clubs and housing rentals, there was a moment around 2012, when all this had become almost a third day of work, because I had to manage the conflicts of island residents, shopkeepers, and regulars; so I did what was most logical, closed the island and sold it. And then I went back to just having fun, I have a small gallery where I set up and dismantle exhibitions without any kind of commitment, or involvement from other people, and I do it just for the pleasure of torturing the prims. I have a house in Bellisseria where I decorate and redecorate whenever I feel like it, I occasionally go to parties, and I chat informally with people without expecting or creating any expectations. I love the freedom of meeting people very different from me and somehow interacting with them, even when we don't speak the same language and the conversation turns into a surrealist text. What is certain is that SL is an activity that is part of my daily life and that has always brought me incredible experiences.
