I have prepared for him. In only a few minutes he had pulled together the most perfect look and of course I had him wear his trademark cigarette to complete his winter ensemble. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the magazine’s theme of ‘Melancholy & Happiness’, and since Mr. Taselian has a more sombre mood in his artwork, I have decided to follow with a more Melancholy atmosphere.

JF: When did you find your love for photography in SL?

BT: In June 2015, when I discovered flickr. Sounds crazy, right?

JF: It does! Your photos are superb for such short of time. What inspires you most for your photos?

BT: Music is always my biggest inspiration.

JF: Speaking of which, what is your favourite type of music?

BT: That is impossible to answer... all genres move me.

JF: But if you had to pick one… which would it be?

BT: (laughs) I told you! I really can’t pick just one.

JF: Alright, then I won’t insist… (laughs)

JF: At times, when I take photos I hit roadblocks and dislike my own work. Do you ever get that feeling and what do you think triggers it?

BT: I don’t really hit roadblocks... I am quite the opposite... I have too many ideas typically. I believe all artists take great pain over their work and I am no different.

JF: People call you a SLebrity. How do you feel being in the public eye in SL?

BT: Do they? (laughs)

JF: There is always some buzz around your name. I do not want to give recognition to these forms of SL tabloids, but yes they do.
