Raul Crimson’s experiences in Second Life®
Yay!!! One nice prize!!!
Some days ago the Orange Island – Koinup contest of SLphotography has ended and the jury selected my work as one of the Jury Prizes (YAY!!! \o/).
Well, was a nice contest with awesome entries and i know it was a hard work for the jury members. Take a look at the post about this in the Orange Island blog. You will see there the rest of the winners.

The prize is…. (emotion music here)….
The winning photos will be included in an exhibition at La Cantine, a creative, experimental and innovative space dedicated to digital technologies, located in the center of Paris.
I just can say WOWZA! Great Prize!!! I’d like to say thanks now to the Jury and to the stuff of Orange Island and Koinup.
This prizes were part of the Orange Island Photo Week, a really cool week with a lot of events related to SLphotography organized by the people of Orange Island. Really interesting pannels, specially one about Web Tools like Flickr, Koinup or Snapzilla.
Also great the class about comic made with SLphotography with Nick Rhodes (sadly didn’t had time to do my comic) and well, another quite acceptable class was mine about lighting. 
No trackbacks yet.

During December, thanks to a comment of AM Radio in his recent interview in Arthole Radio (you can listen it here), there was a really interesting debate about IP rights in SLphotography, not about the IP rights over the image, was about IP rights over what you can see in the image.
He was talking about [...]
