This article, written in 2006 in the New york Times, is about a virtual world called Second Life. The author writes about his week-long visit to Second Life. Second Life is, "quite literally, a world unto itself, with three-dimensional mountains, oceans, forests and cities spanning tens of thousands of virtual acres." The author's experiences in Second Life include, attending a Ben Folds concert, taking a nap on a beautiful island, going to the church of Elvis, and more. At the concert Ben Folds pulled out a light saber and started to attack the audience. To avoid him, the author levitated 20 feet and survived. The author drand alcohol at the Bellevue but didn't get a hangover.
It sounds as though everything unpleasant or unwanted in our world doesn't exist in Second Life. It's a place where one can escape the real world and get lost in a make believe world. It sounds fun to me to be able to levitate 20 feet without any effort, or be able to fly on an avatar. It would be hard though to come back to the real world after living in Second Life. This virtual world could have a bad impact on how people interact with each other or live in this world. It would be hard not to keep reality and fantasy separated.
Original Superman
Edited Superman
I used opacity, the eraser, and the clone stamp to add the red cape. I used the black and white function to make the cape stick out.
Rotten Apple
Good Apple
Here I used the clone stamp feature to fix the rotting part of the apple. I turned down the saturation to make the picutre less yellow. I used the paint brush to write "good apple" on the board and I used the lasso and paint bucket to change the color of the shadow.
