Nocturnal Visions

The last few days, I have neglected creating any new SL fashions. I have ignored GingerDead, who in my mind is tugging impatiently on my leg. Instead, I took some time to explore photography and image manipulation in Photoshop. I enjoy photography, but haven't really ever made serious time for it. Lately, I have been watching my friend create interesting, artful compositions from his photos. Many times, the pics he uses are just random things he sees in his daily life and after applying various tools to them with Gimp, I believe, art is born. So, I owe my little detour from my usual creative outlets to him. (thanx muse :D)

After the initial experimentation at home with the first two images, I decided to go out in the really real world (eep!) and find some interesting backdrops and textures. I found myself at a small local cemetery on a gorgeous afternoon which was blissfully quiet and empty, snapping away without a care. Upon returning home and uploading the images I was pleased to find several that I could work with. I'm really loving the results. Perhaps, I'll do a little exhibition in SL.

I threw them into a flash template, so you'll need flash to view. If you don't have flash, you are nuts because it rocks, so downlooad the free player at www.macromedia.com
