Some of you might be aware that I'm doing an art project, of sorts. The general goal is to get 1000 different avatar pictures, all framed the same way, and then present it back to the community, to showcase how diverse all of our avatars are. At the end of the project I'll open source all of the pictures I've taken in some sort of creative commons full blown full permissions orgy.

Anyways, I'm up to around 230 pictures. Not bad for a start. But then I started thinking, it'd be nice if other people who wanted to help, could.

So I'm going to start up a parallel project that'll be submitted by the community at large (that's you guys).

Guidelines and instructions are here -- http://www.lordfly.com/wordpress/?p=279

It'd be fab if you guys helped. :)

Sounds like a cool project! I may see about submitting a pic, but pictures at high noon....I don't know if I can face the horror. It is never noon in my SL. :D

Is this along the lines of what you're going to do Lordfly?

An addendum: avatar names are not necessary. It's all anonymous, jumbled together.

High noon! We hope to see realism, and thus plenty of vampire pics with anguished, melting faces! :D

How about 1000 pics of meee? LOL. OK, I'm just one avatar but I can wear different outfits and have my hair loose or tied back. Sorry, only joking. I'm just fairly ordinary looking really.

Seriously, though - I'll look out just 1 pic to send

Would love to help! But, how on earth do you get close enough? No matter how hard I try, just can't manage to do that.

Also, is it pix or postcards you're looking for?

As long as it takes to get 1000 proper pictures.

Haven't been able to get ahold of my friends to fix the window :/

Alt-zoom is your friend. Alt key + left click + spinning around.

Not sure what you mean, basically I need a postcard sent from within SL, and the resolution has to be at least 1024x768 (more is good).

Thanks for the submissions so far :)

Also, keep in mind that there is no limit to the amount of submissions... so if you have a lot of cool/different outfits or avs, please send 'em in. :) Also, shots of strangers works too. :)
