Currently I have almost completed my ten picture series i plan to auction off for relay for life. Only 2 more to go. This series means a lot to me. Not just the hard work I have put into the ideas but the reasons why I am doing this.

1) I am the official photographer for the second life relay for life. Over the past two years I have put on many events and taken many pictures to support the Relay for Life. This year I am still taking pictures but have not pushed my self to get pictures for every event. My reasons for this are simple. Last year i pushed my self to the breaking point to be able to cover almost every event. This caused me to feel kind of ill and if i continued that pace I do not know what would have happened. This year I am taking an approach of covering when I am able to and if i do not get to catch it, I will not worry or be upset. This is part of my new mantra



2) I have two sisters who both have had cancer in their families and lives. They are not blood sisters but i consider them my blood. My Friend Daisie (Second Life Name) who i have known since High school and is the best friend i have ever had. Her family has a history of Cancer in her life. My Friend Danielle (Second Life Name) I have known for a bit over 2 years since i first logged into second life. When i first met her she was a damn friendly and bright person to get to know. With how cancer has affected her life over the many years, I really want to move to New Zealand to help her out. I would never do this for anyone else



Now I have been asked why I do not reveal my real life identity or how i have Chosen it. Especially why I go by Ishtarangel Micheline. In real life believe in the goddess Ishtar of Babylon. Also Known as Innana or Astarte or many other variations. The Angel comes from my belief that there are beings of some type that do look over us. Micheline was the last name available at the time i created this account. But it does strike as a pretty name to me. Over my three years of Second Life this identity feels more like the real person I have always wanted to be. Per previous blogs, it is known I have struggled with Depression my whole life. Since I have found out what really caused it, I have been in a mode of self discovery and insight. With discovery comes changes and for me the Change to being referred to as Ishtar feels more natural. Like it is the true part of me that I never accessed till I realized it.



Ok I am done talking. Once I finish this set I will post preview pictures of what this will look like. And currently I will also be working on an advertisement for Eros Fashion.
