As We Walk in Fields of Gold

As We Walk in Fields of Gold

I introduced a friend to the music, and the story, of Eva Cassidy a while ago and I've had it in my mind since I first saw this beautiful field of radiant colour at the Yorkshire Dales a couple of months ago to use the space for a picture. So...voilà! I loved the Yorkshire Moors [...]

Look for the Bare Necessities

Look for the Bare Necessities

Everyone's a critic! I've noticed it a lot this week in Second Life particularly. Now, I believe constructive criticism is important. To self-critique ourselves and our work is vital if we want to improve either as people or to create better products or services. But there is a chasm of difference between feedback and just [...]

My Name is…My Name is…My Name is…Kess Crystal

My Name is…My Name is…My Name is…Kess Crystal

Over the last week or so I've been researching the names of some male bloggers for a project I'm working on at MadPea. Many of them I knew already, or followed on facebook, or followed their blog. But I wanted to send them a notecard in world and therefore needed their SL name in order [...]

Twistin By the Pool

This look was perfect for me as the past made quite an impact on my thoughts. We often hear these days how we've become a far more disposable society. My Dad would tell me about how when he was younger his Mum just had a few items of clothes and they were made to last [...]

When I Saw Her Standing There…

When I Saw Her Standing There…

I completely made the most of having my friend Joe come and pose for me for these pictures today (thank you Joe). I think I took something like 12 original raw shots and choosing which 3 to put into this post was incredibly tough because I loved all of them. The feature pic of the [...]

Summer Solitude

Summer Solitude

"We need society,  and we need solitude also,  as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest" Philip Gilbert Hamerton I'm in a solitude mood these days which is kinda unfortunate as I have a lot of plans in SL over the next few weeks that will require me to be very [...]
