Thank you. I try my best to take nice shots. I've got to use that art education for something, right? :P

It's funny you say that now, because it's my obsession with getting the "right" shots that makes the prosperity hood so tedious to play, if I want to make a story out of it. There are six families so far, and if I have to document everything it takes forever. I can't just snap a couple of shots, I have to get in there and frame them up, and it drives me crazy when I just want to play (and that's what this hood is for, really). I'm thinking I'll focus on mostly playing until a story rises up out of it and demands to be told, and then I can go back and use InSIM to re-shoot things that already happened. It's easier that way.

You were going to reread some chapters? :) I take that as such a compliment. Thank you.

I love how easy sim photography is compared to traditional photography. I get all the fun of setting up the shots, but none of the darkroom work, and also no worries about exposure and focus. It's great. Oh, and I have full control of the models too... pretty great. It's fun to use a video game as the media for creating something artistic. Art can take so many forms these days.

Oooh, an sim alien story? That sounds cool. It's always interesting when someone with some knowledge of sci-fi (unlike me *snicker*) does something with the aliens. Will it be the Maxis green aliens, or some creation of your own?

I love those freckles. :D I forget which ones those are specifically, but they're pretty dark and all on the nose. So cute.
