Exhibition News

21 June 201621 June 2016 Tizzy Canucci

I have a couple of new exhibitions. I don’t do exhibitions very often. I’ve never been an ‘art’ photographer and I’m too in love with colour to shoot black and white. I’ve photographed the naked body in rl, but it doesn’t really interest me in sl. In machinima I can work with these things to […]

July (and a bit) on Flickr

16 August 20147 April 2019 Tizzy Canucci

July was a hectic month and blog writing is like a habit. Once it stops completely it’s easy for it to get left behind and forgotten. So I’ve decided that every month I’m going to do a short review of the places that featured in my Photostream on Flickr*. Hopefully this will keep the habit […]

Falling Snow, Rising Lanterns: Nagare

14 January 201413 May 2019 Tizzy Canucci

It’s not often I browse the ‘destinations’ of Second Life. I’m not sure how or why the places find their way into this honoured tab, but I always have a long list of places in my inventory to explore. This, however, was a little gem. It’s not a big area once you teleport in, but […]

Rights grabbing and the official Second Life Flickr group

11 January 20146 September 2015 Tizzy Canucci

Or why I won’t submit to the Official Second Life group on Flickr. 2015 update: The conditions on joining the group have been changed since writing this post and are reasonable and fair now. You may remember that Instagram fell flat on its face about a year ago for changing its terms of service. Uploading […]

Winter’s Light at Elysion

4 January 201413 May 2019 Tizzy Canucci

The seasons turn in Second Life, usually in alignment with the northern hemisphere. Though in my part of the world, it’s stayed wet and windy, and I’ve barely seen any snow. Elysion is an attractive sim, and I’d been there earlier in the year. So, I thought I’d look see what there was now. So […]

The Snowfields of Imaginaria

1 January 201420 January 2021 Tizzy Canucci

Cold, white, Imaginaria is a winter sim of snowfields and copses. But Second Life for me is not just about the visual, it is also about music. I have Radio Paradise streaming in my sl home and I like to go places and hear the choices of individual DJs, but sometimes I’ll just put on […]

The season turns; Christmas comes to Mad City

27 December 20133 April 2019 Tizzy Canucci

Rain gives way to snow, on the dark streets of Mad City. I first looked round in July, just before my vacation from sl, and caught some pictures of the dark rainy streets, which I have only just got up on Flickr. I returned recently and the streets were covered in snow. The sim has […]

Zenshi: Water and Towers

28 March 20133 April 2019 Tizzy Canucci

I have a liking for this clean modernist approach. I could never aspire to such tidy cleanness, or indeed to anything so conspicuously expensive, in real life. Zenshi is part private residential (thanks to Zzoie Zee for allowing me access), part swish shops. The rural is about desire and romance for many people, but as […]

CGI killing photography? No, not really.

27 March 201319 July 2015 Tizzy Canucci

There was a story recently on Wired by Joseph Flaherty about CGI which I picked up on via Michael Zhang on Petalpixel, whose headline read “Extremely Realistic Computer Generated Imagery is Killing Photography Jobs“. Maybe those of us who have had more to do with computers realised a long time ago that those smart boxes […]
