About Me
2007 was just an ordinary year, playing poker online, and I meet this guy, in SL his name is Connor Galatea.
We chatted for a while then he asked me if I knew of something called Second Life, I told him no and he explained what it was and asked if I wanted to try it.
Intrigued I said yes why not.
The beginning of my SL life
I set myself up with an Avatar name (surname was the hardest bit but eventually I chose one!!).
Connor told me where my avatar would be and find me in people search add me as a friend, I did so, then he tp'd me to a remote area.
With his help and a little money of my own I became half decent.
After a few months of being in SL (so addictive back in the day) I decided to try my hand at some work.
Host/DJ at Breezers
Became a dancer then went into DJing, taking profile pics the lindens helped me set up a home in SL
Runway model at Fierce
Became a model/runway model still DJing also, then I decided to DJ full time and that is when I worked at
DJ at Mumtaz
Worked at Mumtaz for a good 7 odd years making a lot of friends on the way. Also DJ'd at other venues.
Fast forward to 2017
I decided to give up DJing and to explore SL a little more, listening to live singers - Ricky Haystacks, JustinElias Anatra & Jovan Buchsbaum being a few of my favourites and now doing photography.
Photography
Jamisson Burnstein was the one who said why not try your hand at it. I thought why not, with his guidance, tips and advice I began to improve and enjoy it. I mainly love taking pictures of landscapes there are so many beautiful sims in SL, all my pictures are on Flickr I am loving it so much, and made new friends and I thank him for telling me to give it a go. Sadly Jami passed away in 2018 but he was in my life for over 7 years and I can't thank him enough.
Client Work
I have started doing a little client work with friends and acquaintances.
Galleries
Currently a frequent contributor at Rainbow Painters.
My Goal
I would love to collaborate with fellow artists to see what else I can learn.
I am having a wonderful time exploring SL in a different light and can't wait for the next chapter.
