As I was setting up my new studio, I suddenly got in the mood for a short photoshoot. So I asked my younger sister Sofia if she wanted to be model for me to experiment with the Cube World I had; And you can find in the following album on Google Photos the result of it.

I was wandering in SecondLife recently like usual. And I ran into some kiosks that allowed you to click a link or to buy an in-world copy of a magazine. I also noticed that most of the magazines look for a public towards clothing and their trends. And often consists of a 50/50 mix of advertisements and articles. So in the end I was pondering and building the spark of an idea I had, and I started experimenting. Now let's first tackle the idea.

And then I sorted out a very simple solution: I am using to display my pictures a set of frames I bought on Marketplace, https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JOMO-Photo-Frame-V2/6828789 , for 1 L$ because it included my usual format of 4:3 and 3:4. And afterwards I went a bit tampering with it, and came up with a very simple idea. Instead of uploading each picture, and put it on the face to display it on the frame, why not use the media possibilities of SecondLife. As my pictures are stored on Googl...
