Photoblogging for wk1- place i have been to in SL.

This week`s Tuesday class was quite a joyful moment for me, because this is a totally new adventure world to a game dumb person – me. Before this class, I have never played a role in the ‘Second Life’ (SL) virtual world, and have never tried online games either, so such an experience is totally new and fascinating to me. I have registered the log in name and my avatar as well. She is wearing an ‘all black’ jacket with a creamy skirt and has got a ‘poly tail’ hairstyle currently, isn’t she cool?

I re-practiced new tools for my avatar`s walk, run and flying activities,

Flying across ocean to grassland

Walking on grassland looking at ocean. This avatar can fly lower and higher as you want her to, and also the direction is totally controlled by you as well. The appearance can be altered by you, however, I have already tried this during class time, so I am not going to change any of my avatar`s appearance anymore, because she quite adorable already. Just kidding… I chose a destination called ‘Job Art Expo Art Gallery’. My avatar was walking in the hall and there are so many pictures hanging on the wall, similar as a gallery in our realistic world. When I pressed a picture hanging on the wall, a small notice popped out saying ‘an object named Object owned by Marco Beck (marco2007.beck) has given you this notecard: ‘Bio Vasco Lago Pito aka Jazz62 Masala.’ Then I clicked the ‘keep’ button, which jumped out a description about a photographer named Berta Merit`s bibliography. After I read this description, I knew this person learned photography by himself, and he is a street – photographer, passionate about photography and likes to photograph people and their culture and environments. In the meantime, my earphones were full of relaxing music - European, smooth Jazz music, and this was quite touching. As I was reading the description, I quite enjoyed the music as well, which made the mind relaxed and concentrating on reading - very nice – welcoming and matching the photography theme. After that, I clicked on the link this note recommended to me. The pictures are mostly black and white, and one album was ‘unique’ with special effects. After I closed the website, I kept walking, and clicked another poster on the wall, which brought me to another person`s description, Lollipop Merlin. I looked at her description as well, and which described her passionate field and so on. Above all, I sort of understand what the ‘ Job Art Expo Gallery’ is and I am looking forward to seeing and learning more in this SL world.
