Lynx Iuga

Iuga is his last name, not Luga.
Often very confusing, but 10 years ago when Lynx took his first steps in Second life, you could only pick  a last name from a list.
So now after many years he changed his name to Luga.
Like everybody else is SL he wondered around discovering the creations others made to make this world fun and exiting.
When he met Lorin Tone who was,( and still is) the master of sounds, and obtaining a personal script to get access to a sounds menu, he started his first shop.
Evil Chant was born.
Lynx created Gothic objects with sounds in them to create a melancholic environment.
When Mesh started to show up in sl he was not skilled enough to create new stuff and instead of buying full perms objects, he closed Evil Chant to try something else.
He soon noticed there was so many things in sl already and started to get bored.
He even took a break of one year and left, with the intention never to come back, but when he  discovered flickr, he was amazed by the wonderful pictures made in sl.
He learned the basics of photoshop and other photo editors and returned to sl.
He improved and  together with Kit Boyd en Willow, he runs Monocle Man. A place where everybody who wants to learn the basics about photography can take pictures in. Monocle Man has several locations open for everyone and has several gallery's for people to exhibit there work for free.
His studio is yours.
Lynx client list is now closed and as a freelance photographer he wonders around like when he took his first steps in sl, but this time to take wonderful pictures of landscapes and people

What does Second Life mean to me?

Second life has always been for me a way of taking a break from RL.
I am really relaxed when i take my pictures in-world and edit them in photo-shop.
You could say its working as a kind of therapy. It gives me pleasure to get appreciation in sl and even in rl when i show people my illustrations.
I am not into family business, that's why i have no need of a personal home ore private aria.
Monocle Man is a way for me to share my work and give people the opportunity to have a nice time and meet other people in second life with the same ideas an interests.
I noticed there is no longer room in second life for people without experience.
Personally i find that a pity as they are the future.
I never say playing sl, as for me Second life is not really a game. Its a way to express yourself who you really are with the opportunity's you probably never obtain in real life.
Sure, its addicted.
Images Linden labs decided to pull the switch (lol)
Thats why  for me, its very important to make the difference between both worlds.
Without second life i would still be the same person.
Its important to be who you are in sl as you are in rl. Its the first step of gaining respect.
I find it hard to say not to share your rl in sl. Why not?
In time people will eventually respect you for who you are in rl and in second life.
Sharing, making friends and even be loved in second life is what makes us happy in rl, and if things doest work out, just take another shot :)
