Single Frame Stories - Time


I should stop chasing time ... the finish line will wait anyway ....

nope ... it wasn't intended ... but yep ... it kinda matches my relationship with TIME ...
I'm a time management disaster ... I'm usually late with everything ... and therefore often miss a lot ...
This (or rather last) week's prompt for the Single Frame Stories was TIME ... and tho we even had two weeks instead of one ... I didn't make it before the deadline ...
I could blame it on the holidays ... or on extra rehearsals for the 3KS-concert next week ... or on doing a movie-clip instead ... or on not feeling well the last days ... or on the weather ... 
But I actually simply forgot ...
the foggy parts in my brain seem to grow more and more and I forget more and more ...
and along with that I start to stop bothering about time and being in/on time ... 
............ spank me ........ ;-)

Merry ... erm ... Happy ...........

kk ... I'm late again ... 
and I even got nobody or nothing to blame it on ...
but at least here it is ... 
my greetings to you ... wishing everyone a good time ;-)

Maya Calendar

I'm always late ... and you know what ...
Today I don't care, cause it looks as if the end of the world knew about that and decided to wait for me, cause I ain't ready yet and therefore I'm late as usual ...
But it's not only me, who's late ... the night is late too ... it's late night ...
and therefore I try to stop talking nonsense, and to hurry to get to bed to get at least a few hours of sleep...
But before that I gotta tell you the truth about the end of the world, why curiosity kills the cat and what can all be found in the Maya Calendar, December 2012 ...
Well ... here you go ... NOW ... right NOW ... cause you never know if the end of the world decides to catch up with someone ;-)



 



Big thanx to my fav actress Rudh, for being patient with my madness ;-)

Single Frame Stories - Black & White


While I was in The old Imperial Steampunk Theatre of New Babbage trying to turn my idea for this weeks Single Frame Stories into a pic, I suddenly recieved a box from a stranger containing a Prim version of the Metropolis character I was already wearing. 
Tho I after trying I prefered the texture version, I had a lil talk with Aley, that nice stranger, who also kindly sent me some poses to try out ...
and I finally asked her if she would like to be my colourful counterpart for the pic. 
So here you see Black&White Silent Movie meeting colourful Secondlife Explorer ...
Thank you, Aley ;-))

And as usual you can find more cool pix on Single Frame Stories blog and flickr

Hallo Winter ;-)

In the late afternoon today I rode my bicycle to the supermarket, which was a tiny bit risky, cause we had winter coming to our part of the country yesterday ... bringing ca. 10-15cm of wonderful fresh snow.
We already had a wonderful sunrise which I enjoyed during my shift, while Imdy played a wonderful slightly mellow set, the day couldn't have started better.
And now there was an amazing sunset ... with a sky something between light blue and kitschig pink, fog raising above the snowcovered fields ... stunning and breathtaking ...
Unfortunately I had only my mobile with me, which only does quite poor pics, but still I had to shoot some.





Later I returned home ... frozen feet and fingers, but totally happy ... 
Sometimes I just love to live on the countryside ;-)

Single Frame Stories - Secret

You don't expect me to share any secrets, do you???!!???
I don't have any skeletons in my cupboard (only cups ... and maybe some dust here and there) ...



I found a much more romantic place for them ... *grins*

If you wanna see some secrets, check out the Single Frame Stories (blog and flickr)

YaY ... in the name of science ...

Yep and Yippeeee ... I won today's photohunt in the name of Science ... honestly ... it was the pure scientific interest of an art historian ... ... ... ;-)



Today we were sent to  Mieville Wells, a steampunk-themed sim with all kind of shops ... and the theme was 'handcrafted with love' ... or something like that ...
 as Photohunt (the cute robot) said: The theme is about apprieciating hand-craftsmanship ...
... and I just had a close look at what to appreciate ;-)

and here is the Photohunt-Wall with all entries ... we've been a small crowd only ;-)

 for a closer look click pic to enlarge pic ;-)

How about you? Will you join us next  Monday 11.30am (SLT) at the Photohunt Gallery?

Single Frame Stories - Easy

 The way might be not easy , but the goal is ... DIY-Learning a new language ... as fast as possible ... ;-)
YaY ... Easy ... that should be EASY ;-)
erm ... or maybe not ... 
well ... right now my lil pea brain tries to fill up and cope with a new language ... french ... 
cause I would love to talk to my french LoonAtic in french easily, I want to understand the songs of my fav french band 'Toxic Waste'  ... 
and I want to learn it fast, cause if all works out fine, Toxic Waste will stop by for a gig in Koblenz in April 2013 during their short tour thru Belgium, Czech Republic and Germany ...I can hardly wait to meet them guys again and it would be cool to talk to them in FRENCH  ;-)

Here's Toxic Waste playing their song Bricolage Circus at the Hauptquartier in Aachen last year, sorry that my cam totally ruined the sound.


So I got me a soft to learn french on my own ... and I'm glad that nobody can hear me yet, when I try to repeat the exercises ;-)

 While I go back to my lessons now, so I can do a blogpost in french one day;-) ... you can check out all the cool SingleFrameStories entries on blog or flickr!

A bientôt

PhotoHunting for Manic Monday

I love monday evenings, cause at 11:30am  (SLT) starts the weekly PhotoHunt ...
and today we were sent to Torley's sim ... chasing 'Manic Monday' ... ;-)
I like the feel of the sim ... the music streamed there added well to it and I guess I will return there to play around a bit more ...
and as usual, I couldn't decide which of the 32 pix I shot would be best to submit.
And as I like to keep my pix somewhere, but plan to clean my PC soon ... I put my favs here, starting with my actual submission.







I like my pix to be rather graphic than showing objects or persons, but when my cam caught Aelva, I couldn't resist 'shooting' her.



and here is the contest board with all entries

Single Frame Stories - Humility


Does it really make a difference on the whole ... I mean ... in the END ? ......
erm ... at least in the darn f.... huge number of steps to the light ....................

Weeeellll ... humility ... not an easy one for me, cause I admire and hate humility.
...... and I'm far too lazy to explain why ... spank me ;-)
And because I'm such a lazy butt, I'm glad that my way to the top of my grave will prolly be a lot shorter than the climb of this poor pharao ... and I sure would love to watch the stars, sitting on my tombstone ;-)

But before that, I will watch the other entries for the Single Frame Stories on the blog and on flickr ... and I'm already curious for next week's prompt ....

Single Frame Stories - Critique

be glad you didn't criticize my cooking ;-)

I try to not have a problem with critique ... sometimes I need a while to use (constructive) critique for improvement (of whatever) ...
But I'm not often subject to (obvious) critique anyway... 
I don't see me as an artist ... I do stuff for fun and to waste time (which I don't really have) in a pleasant way ... 
and sometimes nice people leave nice comments about that ... which actually is not critique for me, but a nice ...and always welcome ;-) ... thing.
My french LoonAtic sometimes kinda does a critique thing when I show him what pic I'm just messing with (when he's in the mood for it) ...  and I love that he has an eye for some stuff I tend to oversee ... when he says his rare 'not bad', I already do the happy dance ;-)
Way too fast am I done with what I do ... plus I'm a lazy butt ... 
some (constructive) critique (and some butt kicking) usually is a good thing for me.
Soooooo ... I better stop my bla bla bla now ... I'm well aware I'm no writer either ;-) ... and await your critiques ... 
just don't critisize my bad cooking (like a certain someone did this evening) ... you know I hate cooking anyway ... ;-)
How about messing in the kitchen yourself or inviting me to dinner instead ;-)))))

ps ... some of the entries for the Single Frame Stories are definately quite ART ... check 'em out on flickr and blog

and enter your own Single Frame Story to the weekly prompt ;-))

Single Frame Stories - a Shot in the Dark

YaY ... I'm early this week ... maybe because I didn't sleep well the last nights and woke up often ;-)
And while this is a SINGLE FRAME Story ... it started ideas for another nonsene machinima in my head ...
Alas, time is something that keeps running away from me ;-(
But maybe I'll make a compact MULTI FRAME story out of all my singles, who knows ;-)
Till then ... better close your windows at night ... erm .. or .. nah ... don't ... it won't help ...  *grins*


and for more 'Shots in the Dark' ... check out SingleFrame Stories flickr group !!!!!!!

Mayfield Sunset

It's been a windy ... and even more rainy day  ... heavy showers all day long ...
In the late afternoon I grabbed a dry moment to ride my bicycle to the supermarket ... 
and on my way back I was simply amazed by the spectecular clouds in the sky, rushed home to grab my cam, rode over to the fields and enjoyed an awesome sunset ...

it almost looked as if the Maifeld was burning ...

 clouds hanging deep over the valley of the river Mosel ... but we're above them

it actually had even more red in it ....

Single Frame Stories - Simple

oh ... this is such a simple game ... kinda ... erm ... ya ... (*****grmpf*****)
and I've seen little kiddos doing it in seconds ...even behind their back ... 

Ha! ... this might be simple stuff, but it's darn f....g shite .. NOT EASY !!!

 ......... grumble .... grumble ...

but what's easy ... and simple ... is:

Check out the awesome Single Frame Stories (Blog and Flickr)
I'd like to see YOURS ;-)))

PhotoHunt Halloween Time

I try to do the Photohunt every Monday (and only missed it twice) since I  a while now ...
It's always fun and an interesting way to see new places and get to know the SL cam, windlight, DoF and such ... and sometime unfortunately the limits of my pc too ... lol

Usually we get a theme and a landmark to a sim full of interesting spots ...  
Today was a bit different, for we were asked to come dressed up in a costume of our choice and got a tp into a huge room above the photohunt gallery, that was devided into a few colours (like black, white, red, green etc), some poseballs spread everywhere ...
and the theme was "It's all in the details" and the definition of "detail" was that there was less than 1/3 of an ava in the shot ... (not neccessarily your own ava)
With 27 participants it was a record crowd for Monday ...
and YaY ... I shared the third place with Roxy ;-)))


But I have to admit that I owe it mostly to AlexandraForestier, who had chosen such a cool ava for the event ;-)

... even beside Alexandra's ava I look OLD ... lol ...

And as usual there were lots of cool entries and I'm glad that we didn't have to choose only one to vote for ;-)

click pic to enlarge

and here are some more pix I took ... doesn't Photohunt (the robot) look cute in his costume ? ... *grins*



Hey ... what about you ... don't you wanna join our hunting for the best shots ... ?!?
every Monday at 11.30am (SLT) ... (and Wednesday 6.00pm (SLT) for sleepless Europeans or the rest of the world ;-p ) ... at the PhotoHunt Gallery.

52WOCC - Charcoal

kk ... I haven't done many entries for the 2nd round of Luna's 52WOCC, but I still love to follow it ... and sometimes I cannot resist a colour ... like this week ....
CHARCOAL ...
It was after my Goth-Party at Sanctuary Rock, when I read what colour it would be this week and was surprisingly wearing kinda matching outfit, so I took the chance ... and some pics
Thought I'd do it more fashion-blog style ... just without fashion ... *grins*
as it's mostly my own creations, there is no style sheet  ;-)

Single Frame Stories - Driven / Surrender / Genius

o.o ... almost 3 weeks since my last post ... phew ...
how time flies by when you're captured by lots of RL work and other stuff, bad mood sometimes and automatic preparation for hibernation (must be that with all my tiredness) ...
So ... no,  I didn't fall into that hole from 'Depth Perception'... /me winks @ Nic and sends her a big hug ...
and to prove it ... here are my latest entries for Whiskey's and Botgirl's Single Frame Stories Challenge
(check out all the cool pics on the SFS blog and in the SFS flickr group)

This week's prompt is GENIUS

..... guess I'm already at Plan X or Y ... ;-)

and I'm sure ... somewhere deep down, maybe hidden in the right lil toe, is a genius in everyone ...
even in me ... kinda ... erm ... I hope ;-)

but maybe I gotta SURRENDER (that was last week's prompt)

it's the same every morning ... do I surrender to the alarm clock or to the sandman?


at least sometimes I'm DRIVEN (prompt 2 weeks ago) to find out

Driven by the fear to waste the precious spare time, got lost in a blurr.
'then draw' he said.
'kk ... I'll draw'
driven again

well ... it's late ... I better stope typing nonsense, cause I need my beauty sleep ;-)
and maybe I'll tell you in my next post, that I got Imdy back as my Reg Friday Midnight DJ ...
YYYYYYYYYaaaaaaaaYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ..... ;-)
and sending a big THANK YOU to DJ Net ... it's always been a pleasure with him ... *hugs*

Single Frame Stories - In Retrospect

Single Frame Stories - Depth Perception

depth perception can be very physical ... and quite flat, when you swap 'p' for 'a' ....... ;-)



This week's pic for the Single Frame Stories Challenge was a lot of fun to do ... even tho it took me so much longer than I expected ...
And maybe I wouldn't even have finished it, if there hadn't been the help and the critics of my french LoonAtic Dom. 
Btw ... I love the feature in msn taht let's you look at a pic together, makes it easier to discuss the different versions ... and what a way to spend a late evening/night (instead of sleeping, I mean ... *grins*)

Here are a few of the many versions the pic went thru often with only minor changes like darkening, shadows, a lil scaling etc ...
incl a funny error that I only noticed after drag & drop into the msn window ... it made my skeleton friend kinda stand outside the pic pointing into it ;-)



and here are some of the many layers/parts of the final pic, including a scan of the original pencil drawing



Now I'm already curious, what next week's prompt will be .........

Single Frame Stories - Little Did He Know

Little did he know about his brain, so he tried to check ... if only he could find it ...

Once more I have to thank Dom for having an eye for the details ;-*

Single Frame Stories - Positive

Oh Bugger ... 2 posts in 1 day ... 
but that's one reason I love weekends ... plenty of time to do what I like ;-)
And today I was in the mood to try something I had seen on
