SKIP<br />
STAHELI<br />
Skip Staheli’s images are compositions.<br />
It is a complex creative mode, in which<br />
several different elements blend into<br />
the scene.<br />
I remember the first time I saw<br />
Skip Staheli’s image: I think<br />
that was the moment when<br />
I realized how fascinating<br />
photography could be in Second<br />
Life. I’ve always had to deal<br />
with photography because, as<br />
a blogger, I believed in making<br />
the most of the art galleries I<br />
visited.<br />
However, Skip Staheli’s images<br />
were quite different: first of<br />
all, they are compositions, so<br />
he assembled several other<br />
elements to create a single<br />
scene. It is a complex creative<br />
mode: I worked on photographic<br />
compositions (real-life and<br />
virtual images), so I know<br />
the difficulty in creating an<br />
image that convinces that it is<br />
not a jumble of elements put<br />
together.<br />
In addition to creating credible<br />
images (in the sense that the<br />
viewer does not realize that<br />
it is a composition, because<br />
the elements harmoniously<br />
blend into the scene), Staheli<br />
has the talent to excite the<br />
viewer. I honestly believe that<br />
this last aspect is the secret<br />
