Balloon Doggy Love
June 28, 2007 5:04 pm 
I instantly fell in love with this snapshot. Why? I think it’s the viewing angle. Hell, this is Second Life, we don’t need to crawl on a crane or ly down on our stomachs to get an interesting point of view. Yet we all tend to go with the ‘conservative First Life’ way of looking at things and taking our snapshots. Ok, rule of thirds works great in any Life, but we have that more possiblities we don’t use! Strange, isn’t it? And maybe it’s the ‘negative space’ plenty available. Or the limited color palet. *wants to see a ‘retake’ without the pink particles, if possible, but then I’m just nagging again* And also the feeling of ‘innocence’ that comes with the idea of balloon doggies.
Anyway, Aenea, I hope you had a wonderful rezzday, congratulations on that one, and thank you for putting this on Flickr under CC so I could actually show it here.
*Aenea, Vint Falken’s happy rezzday kiss would like to animate you. Is this OK?*

Thank you, Vint!!
I had the idea for this pic this morning in the shower (the font of all good ideas), but really had only about 5 minutes to get the shot today at lunch, with my son in my lap trying to pound on the keyboard…
I only consciously realized that my particles were visible when I later edited the pic in PS; I managed to get most of the pink out of my hair but decided not to hazard getting rid of the rest of the particles…
All this to say that I totally agree with you about the retake :)
I’m glad you liked the pic, thank you for the well-wishes!
/me clicks [Yes] in the blue box, and gets a nice rezday kiss.
I love taking SL photos. I’m addicted to it. I love when somebody builds an interesting object or place, because it offers another picture opportunity. I love taking pics of my friends.
