@Torley: Thanks! I' will have to take a look if they have a way to change it in the Nicholaz client. Just the patch to hide the 'remove keys' button would be enough if he had done nothing else with that client (asked in an office hour the other day if anyone ever had used that button on purpose, was immediately told no ).

@Kara: Will look. And alas, I don't know an easy way to change that; it's viewer-side so conceivably someone could do an open source patch for it.

@Torley: mine are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/35176807@N00/ …. I shot 100 yesterday alone.

What I do is just snap a bunch of bitmaps in SL, batch convert then to jpgs, then upload them to flickr via flock.

BTW, does anyone know if there is a way to change what base name the SL client uses for the next photo outside of logging out and back in?

@Kara: I was kind of slow to get into Flickr but a few notable people, including Kisa Naumova, really helped me get started… before I knew it I had 1000s of shots. I'm eventually going to go a guide on how I get Second Life postcards directly to Flickr, too.

@Susannah: Haha! Well, I would think it's less intrusive in Second Life (plus, you can turn off the sound) but I hope your loved ones and friends are happy in hindsight that you captured those happy moments.

@Lem: Thanks for sharing! At times, I've also been inspired by National Geographic. I think you have a great thing going on by the way you selectively frame/crop your photos.

@Michael: Keep on snapshotting! I like how Second Life enables us to release, unleash, and outright share those "inner talents" we have. And you are very welcome.

@Jamie: I remember composing that! It was partially inspired by "Crockett's Theme" by Jan Hammer for Miami Vice. TRIVIA!
