Sending my avatar into the void. This was my first day in Roblox, and my first Leap in that world. In this world I have several different bodies, but one head. The head is a large format box camera. Born out of a National Geographic magazine assignment to explore the far edges of virtual worlds, bringing back photographs made with virtual cameras.
