From Japan to SL

  

I have been in SL for a long period, and many friends, including my first crush and broken-hearted persons, made away. This time, Pin2 Szymer, my best friend since I started SL, has losted touch.




Since her home and account are still alive, I hope there could be some temporary problem, but I am worrying as it became so long, but she answered my e-mail saying she is OK!




She said that she took some vacation from SL and net games, then would come back after a while.




To lose touch completely in SL is the same as a death in RL, with no way to resuscitate, leaving the cute face behind. Seeing it that way, tears came into my eyes. I have been asking her, not to go away without saying a word. Please do it next time!




In any case, I am happy to know that she is OK. My dear Pin2, would you please come back and let us see the cute chat! I will be waiting for you forever!







  

While shopping around, I found nostalgic wall paper using Trompe Leuil. I am standing at a corner of a room which looks larger. A contrasting scape to the detailed cities in the old article “Art-like SS2” where every room had interiors.




The wall paper starts at my head, which a slightly different color. I saw a lot before like this, but it can be looked natural only from a special spot.




There had been wall papers around a SIM. Now it may be popular to use three-dimensional landscape. But this one was made do nicely. The roof where I was standing was a real building.




From a distance, it is hard to tell the border, which I cannot tell now.




Wall papers with landscape were also used in my house fifteen years ago, which allowed only 30 prims. At that time there is no one-prim furniture. Sofas and bed are made by myself, and the room structure was using about10 prims including walls.




A folding screen showing Edo city made of 12 SIMs. at my home, Temi’s Teahouse at Edo. In order to save prims, it was a single plate simulating folded panel. The Edo castle was using 4 SIMs at the middle. The white one on the right is the new Tokyo Tower, that did not have name at that time yet. Sculp and Mesh came in later, and I was impressed by stairs made of a single prim.




By the way, this is the Edo 12SIMs at the start. Senso-ji temple, shopping street, five story pagoda, Yoshiwara, Geisha-spot Ohmiya, department store Echigoya, Kabuki theater, shipbuilding area, and new Tokyo tower… I memorized all and work hard as a guide of Edo, patrolling and directing guests, also from overseas. I got company housing with enough allowance, happy old days.



These could be related to the SL21B theme, “Elements. This theme invites us to explore the fundamental components that make up our vast virtual landscape and the diverse communities within it”. The SL21B is held from June 21st through July 21st.


  

Thank you for watching up to here. The last is firework.


















One of the good things of SL is colors, including vivid full shade ones that I love. In fireworks, particles that are not in RL provides great variations. The last is a fire at Edo Donjon. This is a raw picture with no modification.


  

Vehicles


















There are surprisingly few pictures of vehicles in my SSs. Regarding cars, motorcycles, or airplanes, SL cannot match game machines. The only ones better in SL are yacht with realistic control and movement, and airplanes that can be set still anyplace in the air.
  

took many pictures for dance shows and put them in my gallery.


















I got an approval every time, and gave a good amount of chip for me, but once I was rejected shooting. I realized that there are people who do not like photographs, so I stopped it since then.


  

Following the last picture at Pandora.


















The last one was modified to add two more Navis.
  

The fourth, animals.


















The first one is the picture that I applied for a photo-contest first time. The one got prize was a different one though.


  

This time is nude.


















People enjoying photography might have taken own nude once at least. When I started SL, I was so touched by being able to shoot free from all care, and took many. I have not meant to shoot art-like ones but only tried to get beautiful. But later I ended up with my taste…. This is not a composite.



  

The second pictures are townscapes of SL.


















The above cities do not exist anymore. There had been cool cites that could not be seen in RL.

  

I wonder if there are any art-like pictures in my SS or blog files. I picked up some in a view that an art should be beautiful without any interpretation. I did not include composites


















That said without any interpretation, but I would like to add some unnecessary addition, which likes an interpretation for a joke that was not laughable. Theme this time was pictures of art. Since the object are arts, it is natural that they become art-like. But these are not introducing the arts but for my joy to find how to shoot them as pictures. There are from LEA art exhibitions.
