Born in Iowa, I now live in Seattle. My parents met in South Dakota. During the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl many families left. My great uncle made his way west in 1939 with some of his hometown friends. Their destination was Anacortes, Washington, where they'd landed jobs building a log mill. My great uncle continued to Seattle, for a time living in the Greenlake neighborhood with a family from that same hometown. View all posts by aaronjhill

What a good post! It mentions all the aspects I have thought of with adding virtual life-sessions to my art practice; the positive and the challenging! I haven’t experienced one with multiple cameras, only one camera and all artists see the same flat view. Still, it keeps alive the valuable practice of multiple poses, often in quick succession. But nothing like being in a room with fellow artists, all drawing our own vision!
