They are worth 1,000 words, markers of history, and everyday documents that reveal great artistry - photographs, which became both a pastime and passion for the Victorian era. How better to document fairies in the garden, or explorations and new discoveries? What worlds are opened up within the viewfinder, and passed on to those at home in sepia tones and black and white? Capturing photographs is not an easy task, nor is transferring them to permanence on paper - it is a matter of craftsmanship and artistry.
For the final Salon of the Spring Season, we are pleased to welcome master photographer PJ Trenton to the stage. Mr Trenton will lead us to an understanding of the art of the photograph and how it has changed through the years. Join us on Sunday, June 20 at 2 pm slt at the AetherSalon as we pose, light, and click our way in the last salon before summer break.
Visit the Aether Salon blog for more information and links to past Salons.

Prim Perfect has looked off grid before as has Designing Worlds. The Primgraph, has talked to Desmond Shang about his Caledonia project in Blue Mars and visited Rezzable’s Steamfish project.
But now, for the first time, the bulk of this month’s magazine looks outside Second Life at a variety of fascinating new possibilities.
Read this issue of Prim Perfect online by visiting http://en.calameo.com/read/00000423493a01935471c.
Fabulous articles covering Blue Mars, the Reaction Grid, Heritage Key and Rezzable by Prim Perfect's plethora of fabulous writers.
Prim Perfect's stunning cover this month is by the very talented Twisted Lemon who has lots of photographs featured throughout the magazine.
Have a look at the world beyond Second Life in this jam-packed issue.
Exposure Art Gallery is pleased to welcome artist Piaget Hax to the main floor of the gallery with Existential Fractals.
Join us at Exposure at 2 pm slt on Saturday, May 29, 2010 for the opening of this exhibit. Come meet the artist and other arts patrons while DJ Lynda Ultsch provides her eclectic blend of music.
Many of Piaget's works are inspired by an individual person and represent an eclectic collection works with soul and personality. Stop by and experience this exhibit.
"Often asked to describe my work, I've come to use the term of Existentialist to describe my pieces. How other way would you even go about describing a work that is inspired by the image of a person's personality and the essence of their soul?"
For the past six years, Piaget has been creating these unique and eclectic works of art, most of them created under the "flimsy excuse of being a birthday gift, but really, it's just an excuse to rationalize unbridled creativity."
Stop by and have a look, and maybe you'll just see something in yourself within the infinite depths of Piaget's fractals.
Exposure Art Gallery is located on Tabula Rasa in the heart of Avalon Town. Avalon offers a rich community of artists, builders, retailers and residents. Come to Exposure and than wander the town!Tuesday, May 4th marked the opening of my exhibit at the Pirats' SAS Gallery. Formerly known as the Bunker, the gallery has been redesigned and rebuilt by Newbab Zsigmond. Drop by the gallery which also features works by Josina Burgess, kirle Adamski and Loup Erin.
My thanks to Newbab Zsigmond, Merlina Rokocoko and MathieuL Bravin for inviting me to exhibit at Pirats and for their assistance in setting up.
Come check out the exhibit at secondlife://SAS+Plage/53/97/22.
Visit the Pirats Network web site for more information about their activities and support of the arts.
A visit to the New Babbage burlesque show takes a surprising turn into a mystery which leads Saffia & Elrik on a search for clues.

I am pleased to announce the availability of the exhibit catalogue for my most recent show entitled the Luminous Lens: Photo Abstractions by PJ Trenton. The exhibit has completed its run at the Tricia Aferdita Gallery but is now on view at the Treet TV sim in front of the Designing Worlds Studio.
The catalogue, written by Miss Rowan Derryth with a foreword by Tricia Aferdita can now be viewed online at Calameo.
Simply go to http://en.calameo.com/books/000045496d4d9a0069359 in order to read the catalogue.
My sincere thanks once again to both Tricia and Rowan for making both the exhibition and this wonderful catalogue available. Thanks also to Miss Ceejay Writer for work on the catalogue and Miss Saffia Widdershins for her support and assistance in this endeavor.
Another highly recommended destination on your Second Life travels has to be the gorgeously textured underwater steampunk "city" at Nemo. Built by Sextan Shepherd, the attention to detail is amazing!
NEMO is a world inspired by the works of Jules Verne, including "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Mysterious Island." Inside the submarine city, you will discover Captain Nemo's workshop, complete with mechanical sea animals, Nikola Tesla's electricity-filled room, and the Jules Verne salon.
I have a set of images from Nemo that you can view in Flickr.
I strongly encourage you to visit Nemo in world at secondlife://FRANCE3D%20Futuna/91/148/21.
