Two Souls Meeting; April exhibition at Nitroglobus Gallery



The theme of this exhbition is EMOTIONS. 
And, there are a lot of emotions in the artwork of both photographers. Although Paola and Maloe have a different style, they share the need to express themselves in strong sometimes edgy work.   

Lemme tell you something about these artists:

MALOE VANSANT has been around Second Life since 2007 and she started with taking snapshots and making a sort of graphic diary of Maloe's journey in Second Life, showing the emotions Maloe experienced. She uses photoshop to postprocess her work. 
To Maloe her photography in SL is a way of expressing her creativity, her passion, her feelings and emotions experienced in this pixel world and maybe also her dark side. 
  

PAOLA MILLS also signed up Second life in 2007, after hearing a lot about Linden Lab in the media and being passionate about video games ever since she was a girl. Paola isn't a professional RL photographer but she does like to take pictures when she sees something she likes; a person or a situation, that's the reason she always carries a small camera in her bag. 

Second Life has allowed her to develop, without the need for powerful means, her emotionalism: by capturing a feeling into simple shots that freeze that specific moment in time. 
Unlike many artists in the metaverse she works her snapshots in handicraft way using minimum graphic editing software. 
Paola hopes her photos can be a stimulus of irony, emotions and feelings and that her photography goes beyond a simple observation of the photographer itself.



Interested? Do come and visit, you won't regret.
Here's your taxi to Nitroglobus Gallery.

Have a lovely Easter says Easter bunny Dido; hey hey after all my name 'Haas' means hare in English sooo ^^

Over the years


Grazia inspired me with her blog post Elyse, which in its turn was inspired by Tuli's blog post about the same topic: the first pic you ever took of your avi (and how your avi changed over the years).  

So here you go: Dido as she looks now and the oldest photo I could find of her  dating back to 2007. I remember I was sooo proud of the skin and hair at the time ^^

I forgot about the photos, but last evening I decided to edit this one coz I rather liked the image.

I placed this photo in my Flickr account and called it 'Pride' coz I am totally taken atm by Syntax song Pride.

Pride

'And I believe in reinvention,
Do you believe that life is holding the clue?
Take away all the lonely moments,
Give me full communication with you.
Your smile, shine a little light, alright?
Don't hide, shine a little light,
Give up on your pride.'
