"Le Six" is a new event connecting designers with photographers and shoppers on the wonderfully photogenic sim of Le Sixieme Sens. The event is a little unusual in that there is no rent or fee for designers, and there is a maximum price of 160L$ on any items offered.
Additionally,
every month, there is a photo contest. Photographers are invited to
create imagery using items from the current round of Le Six and shot at
Le Sixieme Sens. They will need to join a group to get rezz rights.
Between the 5th and 22nd of each month entrants can add their picture to
the Flickr group, sit tight and hope for the best when the round is
judged on the 26th.
The shopping area is on a platform high above the
sim, formally laid out with stone vendors, hedges and statues, very much
in keeping with the feel of Le Sixieme Sens. In the October round I
noticed a variety of offerings, all of a very high quality. Not
surprisingly, clothing and accessories were in abundance, along with
some seasonal decor, furniture, sculptures and art works. There was
plenty here to give a photographer some ideas for a set piece.
From the platform, there was a teleport to the
ground, so it would be possible to grab some stuff and go down straight
away and shoot a roll of film.
Le Sixieme Sens
boasts rustic and Tuscan themes, with lots of charming nooks to sit in,
and atmospheric scenery - some rugged, some soft - carpeted with flowers
and foliage. It is easy to spend a pleasant hour, just wandering and
exploring.
Information about sponsors and participants, and instructions for
the photo competition are available from the landing point at Le Six.
Best of luck to all the designers and photographers - power to your
pixels!
