« Two Virtual World Contests for Art and Halloween | Main | Blue Mars Meet Up Today at 6pm PST: Meet Iris, Me, and Blue Mars Bigwigs in the Welcome Area »
Second Life wanderer Shoji Kimura offers one of the more amazing mixed reality profile photos I've seen. Not just because his avatar and real life self look so alike (which is relatively easy to do), but because they both have the same wide-eyed curious expression -- a subtlety that's more harder to achieve.
