AR: Well… This is probably where I am going to sound like a salty bitch. There are two. I am less attracted to couples pictures and romantic pictures. I fav them because I want to support the artists, but inside I want to puke. Also toddler avatar photos or with those mesh babies. I am going to hell now for saying this…

JF: What photos in SL that draw you in and speak to you?

AR: Pictures that show emotion. I love those photos where you can see the heart of the person in them. I know that is hard to describe. I also love fantasy and sci-fi pictures. They are my favorites. And I still like the Look of the day pics because they feed my shopping addiction.

Creepy and scary images are fun too.

JF: This issue is about the Beatles - Revolution do you have any photos that you take that can relate and if not what can you add to this topic?

AR: Hum… I don’t know on that one. Well, I think the world is going through a revolution, we have forgotten history and now we are reversing the progress we have made. History is repeating itself and it is a matter of time for another revolution to occur to remind us that we did make progress and it was there for a reason. We are also going through a technological revolution; however, I think socially we are becoming inept.

JF: You seem to do a lot of mermaid photos, and may I add are some of your best works. You seem truly in your element when you take these and do them so well. Where did the love for mermaids come from?

AR: Since I was a kid. My mom used to read Hans Christian Andersons Little Mermaid to me. From then, I always wanted to become a mermaid. The one thing that kept me here, when I joined, was being a mermaid.

JF: What would you say you hate and love most about your photos?

AR: A lot of things but… *Laughs* I don’t know what it is specifically. I think I dislike the limitations that SL has and I have an idea in my head and there is just no way to make it come to life. Many of my images look nothing like what I initially wanted.
