Digital Cameras and me

As you might know I am a photographer. My website is http://innervision.ifp3.com/

I currently shoot with a pentax k100d camera. I have been looking for a new camera and found an awesome resource. I am not sure if I want to have another pentax or move up to a cannon. There are so many pros and cons on each of the available camera options. The new pentax has alot of nice features but I have found purchasing lenses for this brand can be a pain in the arse. Shopping for digital cameras can be very complicated. With my first camera I mainly looked for an SD card and I wanted a camera that could use AA as well as a proprietary battery. It seems the new Pentax no longer offers that option So I was looking at the cannons. Alot of people swear by Nikon and are so wrapped up in the draw of a big name. I do not think the camera makes the picture as much as the artistic eye. Yes some of the Nikkons are amazing cameras I will not lie but the price tag is signifigantly higher. Plus the lenses are a bit more pricey as well. The main things to look for are the megapixel rating, the compatibility of lenses, antishake feature plus the menu options. So all in all I guess I will just have to do some more research and decide what option is best for me.

Price is always a concern unfortunately when making such a large purchase. I admit I can be brand loyal but I am willing to definitely explore the other options as I might find something I like much better. Pentax however does offer the best value. So we shall see how it goes.

Vacations and trips galore

I have found myself finally traveling! After years and years of never going anywhere there is a travel explosion in my life right now. I just got back from my second trip to NJ/NYC. I went to see Buckethead at Governor's Island in new york. It was an amazing experience! Listen to my mode of travel... drove to the train station took a train then hopped a subway then took a ferry to the island! Can you imagine!?!?! Iit sounds like alot of travel but it was relatively fast for it all. The ferry ride was most interesting! The Hudson river was choppy and the night was brisk and windy. After the concert I had an amazing time in New Jersey hiking the mountains.

For my next trip I might be going to New Orleans to help rebuild the lower 9th ward which is still closed off to the general public. can you imagine after all of this time since Katrina there are still people homeless and areas left untouched? I really was in awe when I heard that. The sad thing is it is mostly the poor areas left. So volunteering some time to help out seems like a good idea. I was debating leaving a little early and stopping at Myrtle Beach Golf. That way I can have a break in the 16 hour drive that I will be facing to get to New Orleans. I am lucky and will not be going alone so that will help with the drive as well. I wish I could fly at times but it is just not in my make up right now. A Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation might do me good. I am not much of a golfer to be honest well except the driving range part. Golf Myrtle Beach is a lovely resort though and as you have read before I lived in that area for the beginning of my life so always nice to head back and see the sights. Definitely looking into some nice Myrtle Beach Golf Packages.

I will have 1/4 of the island back for rent now in Second Life as well. So anyone interested in having a private isle with complete control over your 1/4 for a reasonable price contact me via sablewolfeyes@verizon.net for more details! Tell your friends pass it along!

The island and premature xmas thoughts

Well I have rented out 1/4 of the island so still there is 1/4 to rent available as of October 1st. So drop me an email if you are interested. I am a long term island owner i have rental references and am very stable i nthe world of second life. So no worries on me running out. It is a nice island can be very private and adult if that is what you are looking for. It can be commercial or private residence. Rent is $22,000 a month for your own private sanctuary.

Well Christmas is coming up fast and i have started thinking of what to do with my xmas list. My dad is alwyas hard to shop for I go for electronics with him. That seems to always make him happy. It is hard anymore because he has everything that he could wish for. So I am starting to do some looking for some new ipod items like headphones perhaps. He has a laptop, dvd player, home theater system, and a wii. SO what else is there I have to ask!!?!?!?!?!?!?! To make matters worse for his birthday I got him a nice new set of logitech 5 point surround sound pc speakers! I guess there are always wii accessories out the ying yang not to mention new games. But he really doesn't play his wii that much! Not sure why he got it to be honest. I am always open for ideas so post away lol It is ok I am not sure what I want this year myself. I have my camera and all my goodies. Sometimes it is so nice to just go back to traditional Christmas time. I sort of miss that concept. The non materialistic xmas. Spending time with friends and family. Seeing the simpler side of life and the things that make the world much easier to live in. Well that is enough rambling about Christmas gifts and other things. I hope your Second Life and first life are treating you all well!!!!

On some second life news I am looking for a renter for half of my island. You will have full control over your side including terraforming. The rent is very reasonable and will cost what I pay for tier for my island. I am not looking to make money just cover what that part of the island costs me to keep up every month.

well I have been doing good but my pc has not been the same lol I had to reinstall some of my Computer Drivers. I am having an issue with my front usb ports as well as my card reader. I am not sure which one of them is causing the issue. How frustrating when your pc is just not working the way it should be. I definitely find pc issues to rank up in the top 10 annoying things that can happen lol So I am going to try to get the new USB drivers and reinstall the card reader with my fingers crossed and breath being held in hopeful glee that this will fix my issue. I am so tired of using the little plug in usb card reader :P It just isnt as easy as using the card reader that is built in. I might also reinstall my Asus Drivers Oh well enough super geek talk for now have a good one!!!

The end of summer!

I am on for my next vacation in t -11 days going to new jersey to see a concert which will rock. I did not get alot of beach time in this year but it has been a great summer. I went to new york city for the first time ever! That was a blast. The city was a bit overwhelming at first but once I was there over night I settled right in and was on the subway riding around like I owned the city. I had grown up in South Carolina and have thought about going back for a vacation. I haven't been back since I was a kid. I loved the summers there. We used to stay at Myrtle Beach Hotels It was hot but there was so much to do. I was taking a look around online at some of the other spots in that area and I found Myrtle Beach Resorts to look like the best resort with the nicest location. It looks so gorgeous on the website!!! The thought of staying right on Myrtle Beach and listening to the ocean all night. There would be alot of photo opportunities from the ocean side balconies. I would just love to be able to stay on the ocean and spend a week swimming and playing in the sand. Something that can never be competed with is Myrtle Beach at night! It really is a great sight to sit and watch the full moon set over the beach. If you are lucky enough you might even get to watch some lighting hitting the ocean off shore. Myrtle Beach Resort would be a gorgeous place to stay but we shall see. I wish they had a resort for you and your pets! That is something I should suggest to North Myrtle Beach Resorts. I have so many pets it is hard to go on vacations.

If I remember correctly Myrtle Beach was a dog friendly beach. Life in South Carolina was so much different to the area I am in now even though they are both resort type areas. The beaches were always very clean and I used to find seashells in South Carolina something I rarely find in Virginia. I am not sure if they groom the beaches here or more than likely the sand bar grabs all of the shells up. Anyway I guess I will have to check out Myrtle Beach Resorts and see if it is a possibility. Hope all is well in Second Life and the Real world for you all!

A return to second life

After a long absence from second life I am returning! I am in the process of making a new line of hair textures!!! I am very excited to get back into the hair business. I have missed designing and prim torturing. The new hair textures will include alot of anime style textures. Different colors from platinum blonde to black with punk accents! Such awesome names as Sunset, Mocha coffee, witchy, ice shine just to name a few. So keep your eyes open for the new colors. I will be redoing some of the older styles with the new textures as well as making new hair. I just needed a kick in the butt to get back in. If there are any designers looking to rent store space on the island please drop me a line very reasonable for parcels. Shown on the picture are prim tears there will be more styles coming soon! Skin shown also for sale at Ravenwear!

Onto some real life fun.... My significant other got a speeding ticket on his trip to Baton Rogue :O It was near Myrtle Beach Resort Speeding of course what else do we do when we are on long trips! He swears he had no options but to speed lol What sucks is as he whizzed past the Myrtle Beach Accomodations he was in a line with a car in front and a car behind him. The cop proceeded to gun him and pick him out of the crowd. Isn't it always lovely when that happens. You have to wonder why life is so unfair lol So as he pulled over in the far off distance he saw the beautiful glimmer of happiness from the Myrtle Beach Resorts. All was ok he did not get arrested for speeding which is always a plus and life always goes on even in the face of a ticket. So remember kiddies do not speed or you will end up gettng singled out.... But it will take you longer to get to and fro what a bummer.

Games!

I hope everyone is having a good one. Life for me has been very sweet. Seems new things are coming up and everything looks so much better lately. I have been doing alot of fun summer stuff. I am thinking about going to see a football game in Georgia. I have a good friend that lives there I want to go visit. So I am looking at some Georgia Bulldogs Football Tickets
I know it is rather weird but i have never been to a football game well besides high school so seemed like something different to do. Besides bulldogs are the mascot. I have never been to Fenway Park either so thats another idea. Fenway Park Tickets do not seem to be too very expansive and that is another place i have never been. Nothing like a cold beer and some stadium food!!! I have a good friend in Massachusettes too! So I guess I have alot of options really when ti comes down to it!

My friend from second life is actually in new york right now as we speak! You might remember Aria we used to have a store together? Well She is over here visiting and hopefully will soon be coming to visit me in Virginia! Part of me still would like to go to New York to visit though. Could always catch a game there but there is sooo much more to be able to do!

Or would visiting the relatives in Illinois be a better idea? I have not seen them in years which makes me feel bad. The distance is not fun when you do not fly! So there is always the chance of Wrigley Field Tickets those would be fun to see as well. Another mindless blabber of my brain and storming loads of information!
