The theme for 'Us & Them' has bugged me for quite a while.
Many years of my adult life I had the feeling that the people of the world started to mature. That they would open up - and start to accept eachother more. That gender, race and nationality mattered less in the relationships between people. National borders became more open and the world in many parts started to grow closer.

Our discussion quickly went into the direction of how to fit our ideas into Rebecca Bashly's awesome ehibit 'Invisible People' which was the main attraction on the sim.

Not much more than a few clouds of sand and some dried out plants waited there for me. I drove past the lonely ranger station and to the far end of the desert. At a suitable corner I layed down my first prim and claimed our plot for this year's "Burn".

October 16 is the big day. For all the artists and builders involved this is a extremely busy, but also fun and rewarding time. Aeonia Artist Group has - as I previously said - 5 plots and 1 theme camp to fill. And our project is well under way. All plots are coming to live - one of them even is close to completion.

I consider this a good thing, though. It shows, that I have been busy creating new art pieces. Bringing a few exiting new ideas to life. My last project turned out nicely, in my opinion at least. So I decided to dress up my gallery to present them to a wider audience.

Surely, Second Life is a world of its own. And to many, it should be, too. There are a great number of profiles where you can read "sl stays sl and rl stays rl. I don't mix the two". For some, SL is a parttime getaway. They log off from Real Life and turn into their fantasy characters. And they are glad that no one there knows who the person behind the avatar is. Fine with me, I respect that.

A great thing about photography in Second Life are the priceless moments created by the residents of the grid. There are an infinite number of stories told and untold by people just being in the right spot at the right moment. And often they are even nice enough to stand at the almost perfect angle.
