When I was a young kid my father handed me a camera one day and told me how to use it. Within that little metal box, between its glass and rings, I found a meaning, an expression of who I was.
I found I always saw the world in a different way, I could look at something and feel a reaction. Deep down inside of me my soul would ring a tone, whether it be dark or bright, it rang, and I wanted to sing it. But I would look at the person next to me and search their face for the ring I felt, and I didn’t see it. It was in that camera I found the way, a method, a medium to bring my ring to life. So when I looked at the faces of people who saw my photographs I felt the chords of a melody striking; different reactions, different feelings, but all of their soul’s where ringing.
When I came to Second Life and found my way into its art community and I found myself on the doorstep of many galleries. I walked around them, dazed and amazed, everywhere I looked I was ringing in such a pure and honest way. What I saw was amazing, I saw art at its purest form: an expression of a soul. I felt like a little child walking around a famous art gallery being amazed at what he saw, wanting to leap for joy, because his soul and mind had been opened up like never before.
So I did; I leapt for joy and ran out wanting to spread this feeling to as many people as I could find. I wanted to create a place where people could walk around and ring. I wanted them to travel the depths of their souls in the art of another. I wanted them to remember themselves and who they were. Fifty-two artists, one thousand and forty pieces of art, I might have accomplished that, but I will never know. It is a personal journey everyone must take. Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I believe this thing called art is an incredibly powerful thing. So with the last month of Twilight Gallery I hope you will all come back for a final journey into yourselves, and I hope your soul will ring, so I can look at all of your faces and see a beautiful melody.
Come January 1st Twilight Gallery will be closed due to the Open Sim Price Increase.

Thank you to everyone that has shown,
