I can’t say I particularly enjoyed my twelve years of schooling. Up until I began thriving at university, being a part of the rat race of getting good grades, competing against fellow students to land well on the bell curve and ultimately being a number for the school to maintain a claim of being “one of the best” locally wasn’t enjoyable. That said, more than a decade after graduating, I do feel a little bit nostalgic about my school days. I am envious of the characters in anime and video games who have the opportunity to do something outlandish but fun in such a setting. But I digress…
Going back to Second Life for another set of photos, this is my character wearily sitting through a lecture near the back of the classroom. She slowly watches the clock tick towards 3pm and home time, while catching a few stray glimpses outside at the park her and her friends will be having afternoon tea in.
Even though Second Life may have a reputation for more adult content, those interested in using it to build custom avatars and take great photographs will find a lot on offer from the user-created worlds, purchasable content for your avatars, a high level of customisation and a couple of clients dedicated to taking fantastic photos. Featured in this image are the following:

Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the upcoming Take That (In-Game) Snap article series. This looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games. It will cover how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
