Dream of Downtown by Kazee

Preface In our Sims3 communities we have discovered

some incredible photography reflecting an amazing

level of creativity beyond what could ever have been

imagined in what may seem to non-simmers as

nothing but a “game”

At Simatography we believe in teaching, supporting,

encouraging and most of all nurturing new

simtographers so that they may improve their art

and create with passion.

This showcase is dedicated to all of the inspiring

simtographers at Simatography and in the

entire Sims3 community

Shutterbugs Cycle 3 was an amazing journey. Watching the

participants develop and improve with each assignment was a

pleasure. The turning point was Assignment Three, Housework, of

all things. Everyone turned a simple theme into a work of art. From

that assignment on, everyone consistently made high scores and

there was excited anticipation for every new submission.

Competition was tight, pushing our participants to up their

game and step out of their box. They all pushed their limits and

produced some all time favorite photos that will undoubtedly

become classics at Simatography. Even our top performers went

beyond their normal capabilites and wowed the judges and

themselves.

Shutterbugs is all about encouraging limitless creativity no

matter the skill level. From beginner to super advanced, everyone

has an opportunity to make new strides.
