So while last month was my rezday, this month is the anniversary of when I grew down and became a kid avatar, 12 years ago. Related, I guess, here's some pictures...
Mari
2008: the day I "grew down." About as good as I could do a photo then: 
Mari
2007: a portrait. 
Mari
2008: another portrait. 
Mari
2009: catching fireflies. 
Mari
2010: gardening. Also, an early "post processed' photo. Usually I did everything raw and unedited. 
Mari
2011: This was my profile photo for a long time. I keep thinking of doing modern version of this one. 
Mari
2012: Haters gonna hate. 
Mari
2013: Cleaning out my inventory. I think I'm still working on that same inventory cleaning today. 
Mari
2014: Flowers! 
Mari
2015: A couple avatars with MarianneMcCann names showed up in search, and looked to be possible fakes of me. So I took this. 
Mari
2016: Part of a series I did with Sakura. Some difficult times, really. 
Mari
2017: Gotta catch 'em all! 
Mari
2018: It doesn't look like it, I don't think, but my avatar has changed a lot from those early days, mostly as new tech replaces old. The pictures, I think, have gotten TONS better though. 
Mari
(and I typoed above. The first shot was 2008, not 2008, but I bet you coulda guessed that!)

LoralieMarenwolf: Thank you! I like to think they've shown a progression in skill, at the least. 
Mari

Great photos and I'm glad the detail has improved over the years.

Chav

: Thank you

Daniel Voyager
: I still look at a lot of the newer shots and think "well, that doesn't look like Second Life." Graphics are still not world-class, sure, but have vastly improved over the years.
