I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Thanks for your kind words! You really had a whirlwind year as did most of us! But I'm hoping that 2009 (year of the Ox) will bring us some relief, most needed! I'm happy for you finding love in the oddest way! Amazing!!! It's been fun following your adventures through this site... Sorry I don't always have time to comment, but I try to keep informed & try to view as much as I can... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 to & yours... peace...

Despite all of life's caprices and setbacks, keep the home fires burning. Ultra stellar capture of this magnificent flame, alit with heat and vigor, beautifully contrasted against the dark background. Here's wishing you and yours a fantastic and markedly improved year over the passing one of 2008, Carin. Some dead tree shots coming up soon for your pleasure.
