Today marks the fourth anniversary of my arrival into Second Life -- my fourth "rez day," as it's called.
I celebrated the occasion as I usually do -- in solitude, in thought, while visiting the realms of an SL resident whose work I particularly admire, Baron Grayson.
(Incidentally, his rez day is about one year before mine, almost exactly - his is May 23, 2004.)
When I first came to SL, I spent much of my time at his island, Sanctum Sanctorum -- it was my "home" for the first couple of months. Baron's builds were my first realization that building, creating, and making art in Second Life could be something really extraordinary.
Several weeks ago, I visited his current sim, The Nameless Isle, and found a breathtaking scene at the virtual water's edge. I've spent hours there, immersed in the colors and ambient sounds.
As a tribute to Baron Grayson, I made a brief machinima with some video clips I filmed there:

Thank you, Baron, for continuing to inspire me 4 years later.
