At Trace Too

Yesterday I visited Kylie Jaxxon's sim Trace Too (SLurl) together with hubby.

Tomais has been there several times before and has posted a three beautiful photographs from there to his Flickr photostream, I'm sure there will be more. All of the photographs are - uniquely and highly imaginatively - named "Trace Too". (Yes, I have scolded him viciously. *smirk*)

I must agree with my Tomais and everyone else, Kylie Jaxxon has done a phenomenal job designing this sim. It truly is beautiful, inviting and serene, so I felt inspired to take a few snapshots, which I am sharing in this post.

All my snapshots from Trace Too are using the sims own Windlight settings.

Photo Safari

My Tomais and I went on a photographic expedition yesterday to Kaelyn Alecto's "It all starts with a smile..."-sim, because there is an ongoing photography contest on Flickr which Tomais is taking part in. (It all starts with a smile... - Photography Contest).

"Lazing together at the dock..." Photography by Tomais Ashdene

Tomais found a nice spot and started playing with his Windlight-settings (He actually has more than the 20,000+ than I have in my viewer, apparently it is possible to download a a shitload of other settings from somewhere.) While Tomais was doing that and taking pictures I was chatting away at him on Skype to his muttering responses.

I eagerly followed Tomais work process in Photoshop with his picture. It is always fascinating to see how he detects and corrects glitches and how he can enhance his pictures seemingly without effort. The effortlessness of course comes through skill and practice. Although many people often tell me that I am the most patient man in SecondLife, I do not hesitate to admit that I would never have the patience - or talent - to learn how to do it.

Anyway, after awhile I started to take a few pictures myself and I submit to my version of the same scene.

"Bock's version" by Bock McMillan

As you may have noticed, I am now using it as my blog header.

If you wish to see more of Tomais awesome photography you can visit his Flickr Photostream or PhotoMonkey SL (NSFW).

I also posted my picture to my own Flickr Photostream - it's the only one there so far - and joined the Flickr group "It all starts with a smile..." - Photo Contest to submit it to the contest.

Furthermore, I consider that Dejerrity Mycron must be partnered soon. The wonderful man's single status is an utter mystery to me and he certainly needs other things to occupy his mind. Interested parties should contact me a.s.a.p. for additional information.

"Pines at Jacob Pond" Photography by Tomais Ashdene

OK, OK, I can already hear you muttering, "Why does he choose the works of this amazing photographer so often?". Well, this time I am not alone as this picture was selected to be the cover picture of the week for the Second Life - Landscapes Flickr-group.

Married Life

Being married agrees with me, except when my husband expects me to get up early in the mornings to fry his chicken wings for breakfast.

"Morning with the husband". Photography by Tomais Ashdene

I get to massage my husbands aching muscles when he has been out shoveling snow in first life.

We have fun with family and friends using every possible vehicle known to man.

Kayaking with Guyke

Hanging with Ziggy & Guyke at Ziggy's new home

Flying with Wayne (and Holter)

Sledding with Dej

Then we have those wonderful times when we are alone together, sometimes trying to make babies.
