Willows photo blog: December 2024

I got started in photography as a way to capture special moments spent with friends. I post these on Flickr and now Prim feed. I love the rich diversity of people who I meet in Second Life and the creative way they present themselves. Sometimes when I’m visiting a sim, I may see someone who I find especially interesting, and I’ll stop to ask if I can take their picture. Most everyone is happy to allow me to do that and I have made several friends this way.

Over time, as I met other photographers, I became more interested in the art of photography, and I learned some editing techniques from them. I do very little editing of my work, but I do try to pay attention to the lighting which makes a huge difference when creating a portrait.

I haven’t shown my work in an exhibition, but people visit my gallery at Monocle Man, Thank you to Monocle Man for making a nice place where photographers can display their artwork. I enjoy visiting other galleries and meeting the photographer. I’m impressed with the work I see there, and I am honored that my gallery is featured in the Monocle Man blog.
