The true beauty of open fields under crystal clear blue skies is difficult to capture and re-create in Second Life, however, visitors to Kidd Creations are immersed in the intense beauty of nature and unique landscapes are within reach. Over the past year we have been trying to meet with DoP Kidd but due to hectic schedules we have finally managed to catch up with him and it is a true honor and pleasure to introduce him to our wonderful readers.

experiences Dop joined in 2007 and while he says he feels like a star for being interviewed he added that he thinks Second Life has not changed all that much because the “atmosphere is still about the same like an enthusiastic conquest of the playful and curious, creative and joyful where residents as builders of this second earth had the feeling of participating in a single adventure holding hands with the Lindens.

Feel like a kid running through the fields or rolling down a hill or two after all that is how Dop feels he explained, “I really feel like an old kid who still plays with high-tech Lego bricks. I am completely honest when I say I am still quite amazed all of this exists this was science fiction when I was a teen. SL is a field game for kids of all ages with its playful side so I thought it would be nice to call my garden the Kidd Garden; just like in kindergarten that space where one plays making up stories while forgetting the real world exists.

However, around the time of 2009 I feel that something in this partnership the trust and respect perhaps even affection has been damaged. If I regret a part of this evolution of Second Life it would be the erosion of human relationships, especially between the police makers and people that need each other for this world to exist. Those relationships are values that are not virtual in our virtual world.” We can all appreciate a sense that some people in world may forget about the human side of this experience, but while we are separated by screens we are all connected in our society.

I started suggesting my work publicly around 2009 and we are already in 2012 as time flies it is proof that while playing time passes quickly as it tends to do in a dream.” As we discuss the early days of our Second Life

Our first lives give us experience and passion which we can either explore in those lives or finally experience in Second Life for Dop as a “kid I was very interested in doing things with my hands my favorite toys were Legos.
