Firestorm in the best way possible to make a great photo. There are beautiful tools in SL, but you
need to understand how they all work together.” She also added that knowing all the tricks and
understanding Photoshop won’t help if the photo itself is lacking. In short, Visionaire helps people

to ‘see’.

WrenNoir reminisced with me that “after class, people were saying we were crazy because we were
teaching people our skills.” She doesn’t agree, responding with an old saying: “The rising tide lifts
all of us.” She goes on to say that everyone’s style is different, so teaching someone their skills really
isn’t replacing anyone— it’s just helping people be better at photography. She is right, as Visionaire
is going into it’s sixth year and counts both novice and professional photographers alike among
their alumni.

Visionaire isn’t the only anniversary WrenNoir is celebrating; in February, her store Wren’s Nest
turned two years old. Her voice radiates joy and excitement when talking about shape creation. She
began making them when she first joined SL, tweaking and altering her own to see what all could be
done and constantly discovering things that appealed to her sense of aesthetics. “Making shapes is
a celebration of ‘Look at how many choices we have… so different, so unique, so ourselves’.”
