taking photos in Second Life is alot different than in real life, So learning to take pictures in SL was a seek and find mission, and had to learn basics, but with a lot of friends and watching YOU Tubes , million questions, made lots of mistakes. I am still learning and finding new subjects to take pictures of.

1. what brought you to second life?
I have seen a report on Second Life and it's creativity and was curious - so I joined and got hooked up
2. how long have you been doing art?
Honestly I don't really feel like an artist - there are people doing much more artful things - but I've started with RL photography with about 16 and always been taking photos since then.
3. tell us about your photo in your own words
I was fascintated by the topic and enjoyed a lot to create a Viking character - for me it was clear he has to be strong and powerful - so I've imagined it should be kind of an action shooting.
4. where are you from in rl?
I'm kinda a digital nomad and change my places quite frequently - well you could call me an European - from my sources I'm from South Germany and Switzerland
5. do you rl photos?
Yes - almost every day - sometimes just for memories but often as well like more serious photography
6. would like to do an exbit at monocle man?
I think that would be awesome :-)
7. how did you learn the basics in photos?
From the basics I have been a long time in a photographer circle and studied the different rules of composition and other stuff like that. In SL, mostly learning by doing - trying to play with all features SL (Firestorm) offers.
8. do you use photo editors what ones do you use?
Most of my captures are RAW images without any post processing - If needed I mostly use Gimp
9. do you use any any special wind lights?
Usually I start with a day circle I made myself with different settings - and when I think I found one which matches I adjust it to the final settings.
10. who do you look up to in art?
There are a lot of artists which are impressing me - in Photography, like Don McCullin or Annie Leibovitz and others - in painting from Miro over Dali to Andy Warhol - actually there are also some really great artists here in SL - like Hermes Kondor or CountChanel
