Old Italy Redux


I have spent the better part of the last week trying to learn to use Kirstens Viewer and just about the time I think I’ve it figured out, something amazing happened. I realized I was shooting with shadows.

Then I logged out, and back in again after dinner – and – THEY WERE GONE.
I’ll figure it out later.
But this is what I’ve decided.
Shadows are the new black. To such an extent that it’s almost getting absurd watching people use them. I’m not sure it makes sense to use them JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, any more than it’s appropriate to put lensflare in willy nilly.


I’m trying to spend more time out of the studio and since Cajsa went to Old Italy I had to go too. I’m wearing a recent release from Sascha’s Designs called Gracious. I’ve shot some with and without the bodice piece and yes that was an accident. However, It’s gorgeous either way.

Old Italy is amazing for photography and apparently casts some lovely shadows. I seriously have to figure out how I enabled that.

I’m wearing Belleza’s amazing release MELISSA with the gorgeous pale tone.


Do you think I could get Tricky to do my eyebrows in RL?

    Grrr, shadows sure ARE the new black. Some pictures look just ‘so great’ with the extra touch of shadows… but I need to wipe that idea off my mind or it will be the death of my poor old lappy.
    Lovely sim and lovely you :-*
