I’m not much help in this sense, because I’ve been on the other side of the lens for so long. I grew up in a time of big, wide-angle, high-speed, color photography. What I mean is, I always had a real-life camera in my hand and a lot of pictures you could see at a glance.
In my time, I was a professional photographer and I still have a lot of them. Most of them were shot with a 35mm camera and they still reside in my camera collection. It’s not that my camera was inherently better than my eyes, it still is. It just wasn’t a 35mm camera. I’ve been on the other side of the lens so long, that I’ve lost some of my old skills.
Second Life is very similar in many ways to the real world. Both are places where you can create your own virtual reality and live out your fantasies.
People who want to do this can create a few things in Second Life, that in the real world would be illegal. The closest they come to virtual reality is to create a virtual pet. I personally created a lot of virtual pets in the real world. It was a lot of fun and I was able to see them in real life, but in Second Life they seem to have an actual life.
My virtual pet was a dog. A friend of mine gave me his computer and I created a “pet” in Second Life which was a fluffy kitten. I can’t really get into the details of how I created it in the past because I only have a few posts, but I did make lots of posts and made posts of other people’s virtual pets. I also had a lot of fun with it.
Second Life Photography, while fun, isn’t really a sustainable business. There are a lot of people who will be put off by the idea of doing virtual photographs of themselves. I personally feel that it is very personal and a lot of money can be made from virtual photographs of others.
However, it is still a fairly new trend. I think the reason I’m even looking at it is because I was doing it for a charity auction a few years ago and it was an all-time winner. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of doing it again.
For me, the interesting aspect of second life photography is that it is actually more of a social activity. Whereas virtual photographs are created by people who have not yet experienced first-person virtual photography, second life photography is more of a social activity that is shared. You can use the platform to create virtual photographs of yourself by creating a profile.
I can see why this is a good idea. I would guess that as a society we all already know someone who has done it. I know several people who have taken virtual photos of themselves, and I think that could be a good thing, especially if it makes the virtual photographs more interesting. But there’s also a lot of potential for this to become a social activity. If you want to know more, I recommend this post on Lifehacker.
I think we all know someone who uses this app to take virtual snapshots of their life to give to their significant other. I think this would be a good use for the platform, so I’d like to hear about this from you guys.
