The two sides of us.

Two sides of us

This weekend I am attempting to clean my inventory a little.   It’s a huge mess as I have not really paid any attention to it in months.  New purchases get swept into event folders and that’s how I manage to find things. It seems to be working so far, at least when I remember to make a folder right away.
Anyway, just a fun picture today of dresses and accessories I got through gacha at this last round of the Secret Affair.  The event is now closed, but Junbug usually puts her gachas in the store afterwards.

DH

This will be a short post as I’m running short on time at the moment, but I wanted to get this out as there is only two more days and the two for one shoe event will be here where you can find some great bargains on mesh shoes.  Today I am wearing the Homard Heels by David Heather made to fit with the SLink high feet.  There will be two exclusive colors for 21Shoe, a black and a navy with the silver homard.   Remember to check the 21Shoe website to see the other shoes that will be sold only those 24-hours.
Have a great Monday and if you’re in the states… enjoy the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday!

More Exclusives for 21Shoe

On By AlexaIn Events, Home5 Comments

Maimai2

Here are some more shoes that are part of this month’s round of 21Shoe event.  In the first picture I am featuring folder wedges in exclusive colors by Miamai that are made to wear with the SLink high feet.  Two great pair of shoes for the price of one.

Final Ingenue 21Shoe Jan 2015

The next pair of shoes I am showcasing are from Ingenue and are called the Marie heels in the colors wine and latte. They too are made to fit with the SLink high feet.  Just remember all the shoes are available for 24-hours and will never be sold again.

I will be featuring a couple more shoes in the next day or so, but check out the gallery on the 21Shoe website where you will also find the slurls to each of the stores.

I am pretty enthused with this last picture as I learned a new technique today and that is blending two pictures together.  It took me a while playing with it, though I am pleased with the outcome for my first try.

Black and White

I was standing next to the dog on a stand going through poses when I came to this one and chuckled that it looked like I was scolding the dog and decided to shoot the picture like this.  I mentioned yesterday that I had fixed my problem with shadows and if you look at the wall you can see the shadow of the window.  That’s the result of using advanced lighting and a favorable wind light.   I added a burst of light to come through the window with Pic Monkey and decided to go with a black and white for my final outcome.

Even though I don’t crash anymore, enabling the advanced lighting feature does seem to slow me down considerably.  I’ll have to continue to play with it some more, though for now I like having the ability to use shadows.

Airing out the d…y laundry.

Snowday Laundry2

Again, just recently two of my pictures were selected for the photo cover of two Flickr groups that I post my pictures in.  The first group was SL Home & Decor and they selected one of my New Year’s Eve pictures in which I blogged product for Aphrodite. The other group was [CIRCA] and they selected my Christmas post on their products I blogged during the holiday.   As of this posting they are still up, though possibly just a click away before being replaced with another photo.
Those are the unexpected little treats that have made my time doing photography in Second Life a nice and worthwhile experience.   Thank you to those groups and for everyone that takes the time to favor one of my pictures on Flickr.  It is always interesting to see the pictures that get the most hits, because it’s usually the ones I spend the least amount of time on or not my own personal favorites.
As an outlet to relax and have fun I just let myself go with the moment.  There are some days I’m just more inspired than other days and a scene gets developed without any planning or thoughts beforehand.  I call it a success if I’m really lucky and my mind isn’t suffering short term memory loss that day and I’m able to recall items that I have in my inventory to be able to use.  Then I can use my Flickr for inventory control.
Sorry, there was no airing out of dirty laundry… that solitary d really stood for daily.
Enjoy your Wednesday! 🙂

My winter dream.

I was short on time this morning, and was only able to post on Flickr before having to rush off for a morning meeting.  I have about fifteen minutes before I have to rush off again to meet a friend for lunch.  I figured that in that time I can get this done.  This is my first snow scene in Second Life all the while it’s only relatively cool with weather in the mid sixties today here in my real world as I type this.  It’s a small cold front we’re having as our normal weather is usually high seventies or low eighties.

When I thought of doing something snowy with the Christmas feel I thought of Norman Rockwell scenes.  I have always loved his work of portraying American life through his paintings.   I have been in Florida most of my life with only small stints of living in other parts of the US like a year in California and another year in Washington state.  The latter being where I experienced snow probably for the first time that I can remember when I was like seven years old.  Outside of that I have seen snow only on a few other occasions like in upstate New York while on a business trip and a family vacation in the mountains of Tennessee.

This would be my ideal snow scene.

This is like the third or fourth day I’ve woken up with a pounding headache, today a little worse than usual.   I’m not lacking sleep and I’m not eating anything before bed and not overly stressed for once.  It used to be when I dreamed a lot I always felt my mind never rested, and yet I’m not dreaming often these days, or dreams I can remember when I awake.  I’m just babbling now trying to think of the reason for these annoying headaches.

I haven’t posted in a few days as I’ve been focusing on a few other things like decorating my land and putting a little more order to my wonderfully filled inventory.  It’s a bit embarrassing funny when someone else knows your inventory better than you do.  I made a joke that I was going to bequest all my gacha items to them upon my calling it quits.  Chuckles.

Hope your Wednesday is fabulous!

I’ve been playing around a bit with Photoshop here and there.  It’s not an easy program to learn though I’ll wager and say my tolerance level may be dictating here.  I want it now, not later.  Just blame it on the traits of an Aries personality.  Ignores the little part that says we’re selfish.  Here I was playing with a lens flare and tried to soften up the picture playing with the sliders on the curve… so far I can handle this.

Just a quick snapshot and now I’m off to a birthday party that will be full of kids and the grownup kind too.

Everyone enjoy your Saturday!
