Inspired Photography

Dirty Minded?

I love finding little niches in world that are oh so photogenic.  Even if it's trash bags and a dumpster.  Neutral Ground club (slurl here) is relatively new.  It seems that many of the staff there are refugees from the closing of the popular The Pit, formerly owned by Galathir of Sinful Needs.  The sim, owned by Athena Quinan, is undergoing some building but there is a dark carnival of goodies in the "club" area.

As it happens, I DJ there.  I really enjoyed the scene so much the other evening I was inspired to change my windlight settings (Doomed Spaceship) and park my kilted bottom next to some garbage to do it.  The theme for that event was cyberpunk.  I supposed I could have cybered it up a bit more but I was happy with how my outfit came out.  Hope you enjoy the picture!

The Mysterious Door

I can't help but peek behind curtains when wandering about Secondlife.  I am as curious as a cat without the tail paranoia.  One of my habits is to go back and regularly check the in-world stores of some of my favorite creators and designers.  Recently I stopped by the BC322 store.  Along the way I found three cute hairs, one was a L$1 gift item, that I snagged.  I was about to make my way into the Black Maria store/hair shop right next door when in the alley I noticed... a Mysterious Door.  I like to capitalize shit randomly.

Cute Hair from BC322 called EMO princess.
Tinted streaks are color change.

Given the aforementioned curiousity, I found myself walking down dark stairs and through a well of black shadow so deep I worried I might have arrived in Hell.  I was pleasantly surprised to land at the door of a club, hidden downstairs from the stores!  It appears to be completely public in access and it was such a perfect take on CBGB's and other popular NY clubs from back in the day.  The walls are covered with club and gig posters from every major punk band and the stage is outfitted for a performance!

It is a great place to snap photos and I highly recommend visiting it when you can.

It's Hunt Time!

I love a good hunt and the American Bazaar Hunt looks like it's going to be a good one.  There are even a few stores I haven't visited yet!  So make sure you get to American Bazaar and start the hunt there.  There are about 140 spots to search - guaranteed to keep you busy for a few evenings.

When I finish the Hunt, I plan to post a review of my favorite found objects.

Happy hunting!
