You can learn more about Tempest Rosca-Huntsman below:

Photographer – Fashionista! I’ve been around this crazy world for longer than I would like to admit (although looking at my profile, you’ll see exactly how long that is!!) .

I live just outside Oxford, UK and work as an Operations Manager for a large Field Marketing company and love my job! In SL, I like to keep busy working in Social Media for FaMESHEd and FaMESHed X as well as supporting my husband, John, with with all things Kultivate.

As well as the galleries (https://kultivatemagazine.com), we have two music venues – The Mad Mare & The Wild Rover – which host talented musians most weeks. I enjoy learning and creating and this applies to photography work within SL and RL also. My photoshop skills are all self taught through help from friends here and tutorials that you can find on the interweb!

When not working – in RL I am social, love movies and walking my crazy dog, Chase and taking my camera out looking for that perfect shot. In SL, in my spare time, nothing is more sacred than spending quality time with John or with my very close circle of friends – or just chillaxing quietly!

BIOGRAPHY:

Photography:
My goal is to demonstrate through my photos that virtual photography is a new art form and Second Life is a true medium for virtual art. Using the tools SL provides, I create my photos using many of the same photographic techniques I would use in real life, while also incorporating virtual techniques not available in real life.

My photography is done entirely in-world using SL environmental effects, graphic settings, and photographic filters.

Sculpture and installations:
My installation work focuses on social issues, identity questions, cultural roles, and sensuality. I often use various lighting and texturing techniques, mostly creating SL-based process art.

I designed the Muses Gallery and Nightclub @TerpsiCorps. I also server as the curator of regular show, there.

Lab announces the ending of gacha machines in Second Life

Inara Pey: Living in a Modemworld

via Linden Lab

In what is going to be seen as a highly unpopular move, Linden Lab has announced that the use of gacha machines within Second Life must be discontinued by content creators by the end of August, 2021.

To avoid and misrepresentation of the Lab’s decision, I’m reproducing the official announcement below:

Due to a changing regulatory climate, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to sunset a very popular sales mechanism for content in Second Life.  It’s widely known as “gacha”, and is defined by a chance-based outcome as a result of a payment.  
We know that creators plan their content releases far in advance and will need to re-tool their products, so to mitigate the impact to those affected, we are giving a 30-day grace period, until midnight SLT on August 31.  After that time, selling content via gacha machines will no longer be permitted…
