Photography in Second Life

So I have come to thoroughly enjoy photography in SL. The opportunities are endless and with some photo programs you can have a lot of fun. I find this to be a good play time stress reliever. I have also found I can spend countless hours just sitting around playing with backgrounds, poses and props. Having fun an being creative all at the same time. I don't just do them for me. My real joy is doing them for others and getting the joy of having them like them. I am by far not the best out there. There are some out there who's photo's take my breath away with what they can do. I hope to someday be as good as them but until then I will play and have fun doing it. Another good thing about it is that you can earn lindens too. Many people in SL need professional or good looking pic's for one thing or another. Whether it be for profile pictures or tip and host jars there are plenty out there willing to pay you for your time. So if you are looking for a way to earn lindens and your creative try it out.
Here are a few I have done.

Friends, Enemies, Lovers and Stalkers

Interesting title isn't it? Well there is a reason for it. In Second Life you will quickly find that you will come across all of these types of people. It is also Possible that all those names could be one person, You could start out as friends, become lovers who may turn out to be stalkers and then become your enemy. If you are lucky this will not happen to you, If you are even luckier you will not have to experience all four. I have been lucky enough not to experience all four, but I have had to deal with all of those terms on separate levels. How do you tell when someone will start as a friend and end up something else? You don't, you cannot be in someones head and know what they are thinking. Are there warning signs? Of course there are, they are in the little things they say and do. When someone is your Friend you tend to have a closer knowledge of that person. You hope to know them but you can't always know what they what they are truly thinking. Some have stalker material written all over them. Yes those are the friends that message you all the time with odd reasons and are never really a true friend. They may be on your list but you never really know them. You know off the bat that there is something off with them, their mindset is off. They are either angry or too loving towards someone they hardly know. They don't listen to reason and they don't like no. These are the ones you watch for and need to leave as soon as possible.

You also have those that start off as friends and for some reason or other you have a falling out and you make an enemy. Whether it is something you did or they did, you never know. The best thing you can do is be careful and try to live the best second life you can. All one can do is be the best you can be. Be true to your self and at least you will know you can do no other. So live the best second life you can and remember the block button and mute can really be your best friend to get rid of those that bother you. It will make things far more enjoyable. So Go have fun and meet the good people in Second life and avoid the bad ones!

The Answer

Don't ask what is wrong
The answer is unnatainable
The answer is me
The answer is you

You are my sadness
You are my regret
You are my happiness
You are my protection I do not deserve
You are my life I cannot have
You are my dream I cannot dream
You are my walls I build back up
You are my soul
That is given freely

Don't ask me what is wrong
The answer is unnatainable
The answer is me
The answer is the problem
The answer is

I would have it no other way

I am a Rock

I am a rock,
Hard and strong
You can throw me
I will Bounce
You can bury me
I will withstand
Needing no air
You can hold me
I will be smooth
You can count on me
I will be strong for you
You can come to me
I will be there forever

But if you crush me
I turn to dust
To return to the earth
Just in pieces
Never to be strong
Never to be smooth
Never to bounce
Never to be whole again
Never to be there for you
Only to be pieces
Of what I once was
Left to return
To the earth
Alone Forever

Mirror

I look in the mirror but what do I see
The shell of me that the others see
That is all I choose to show
No one is allowed to see

For to show more
Would show a wound that bleeds
Flowing out of me forever
Never finding another to seal it
It flows as the moon rises and falls
But I do not show it

This wound I hide away
Not allowing anyone to see
For the pain I hide is too great
For mere mortals cannot concieve
Of the Pain I bear
And the Evil I have seen

I look the the mirror and what do I see
A shell of a woman that all others see
But no one see's me

The ones that come and go.

     You will find times in your second life where you meet people that you will become close to. The amount of friends that you will make can be outstanding. Some of those friends will just be slight acquaintances that will come into your life for a moment. Sometimes you will see them around rarely and some you will see everyday. Some you will form lasting friendships with that will mean more to you then you realize and others will just bring a smile to your face when you see them. All of these friendships have a meaning and are special. Even if you only talk to them for brief periods, a single IM here or there saying hello, or catching up on what has gone on in your life. You never really know when you meet someone how important they may become to you. You find that out over time. A lot of the people you become close to will stay with you throughout your SL life. Others may drop out of sight for long periods or forever. When this happens you wonder about them and worry. Because we never know what happened to them, we don't know if they just ditched that SL life and started a new one or if something happened far worse. Unfortunately you can't let yourself ponder over it to much because more then likely the explanation is that they just simply stopped playing the game. You can imagine them laying on a calm sunny island somewhere shutting out the world or traveling to some far country if that makes you feel better. It all works as long as you don't let it bother you to much.
     Some of these people you become very close to, feelings change and relationships change everyday. How you handle those changes is up to you. Honesty is important with these relationships and friendships more then anything. A lot of these friendships may turn into more and then you find they don't work out. Do you stay friends or cut them out completely? I say no, they were friends before and they can stay friends. As long as honesty is there and you understand the reasoning all is good. Because basically although the avatar's are just pixels the people behind them are very real and so are the feelings. It is up to you yourself to decide how to handle the friends that come and go. How to handle the feelings that are involved, and the relationships. I believe that if you can stay friends through what ever happens that your life will be better for it.
      Anger and hostility have no place in SL, the whole reason we go there is to escape the drama's and realities of our real lives. Why should we bring that drama into SL? Keep it simple and emotions in check. There is no reason for hate even if things don't happen the way you may have thought or wanted them to be. No reason to stop being friends with all of the people that were associated with you. Unfortunately not all will feel this way and some people will cut all ties with you and others will remain.  It will be those that remain that will be the highlights, those that do not, well you can't let yourself dwell on it. Continue on with your SL life and leave the anger and resentment behind. Because when it all comes down to it, we come here for escape and entertainment. You can't deny it, but you can choose how you react to things in your Second Life. You can live it without resentment and hostility and let bygones be bygones or you can continue your Second Life letting the anger and hostility consume you till you react in an unflattering way. I choose the latter, to live and let bygones be bygones. To keep the friends that you can and let go the ones you can't go even if it hurts, because in the long run it will make for a better Second Life. Second Life is for fun, you may find love and lose it, you may find friendships and lose them too. In the long run however what you do is up to you but keep an open mind and try to live your Second Life in a positive way. Believe me you and the ones around you will be better for it. Throw the anger and hostility out the window and just let it float away on the wind and allow the clean clear breath back in to refresh and renew you. You will benefit in the long run if you can just let it go.
   Because in the end this is Your Second Life no one else's and only you can decide how it will play out. All you can do is do your best, try to keep the friends you can and let go those you can't, and hope to keep as many close to you as possible and not let them go unless you have to. For friendships are important to all of us and we should not allow them to fade away too easily. If they can be saved then save them don't let hard feelings ruin things. Let it go and get over it, it will mean a better SL for you and for those around you.
