My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

The light is beautiful! I love the way it softly illuminates his face and fingers. This is perfectly titled. Active and creative thought is very present in his expression. Excellent portrait! Great profile too!
MrsLubner
A most pensive shot. It has a great deal of emotion in it. excellent work.

A wonderful portrait of our friend deep in thought!
wysiwig
Wonderful capture. A very sensitive portrait. The lighting is perfect.

Great portrait, well done!!
Meisiekind
WOW - what an incredible image of our friend! I agree with PJ - he does look pensive and is probably busy thinking up a wonderful tale to add to the excellent photographic matter he produces! Wonderful portrait Tara!!!
helanker
WOW! He looks like he is building a new story for us to enjoy. What a wonderful Portrait that is. Superbly done Tara :-D
Chipka
WOW! I look so smart. To be honest, I was probably thinking "Hmmm...porkchops! Porkchops taste good. I like porkchops; I wonder if they go good with marzipan... Oooh look...a window! Windows are cool." I remember that day fondly, and I can still taste Persian food too...oooh...Persian food is good. What a wonderful shot! And its funny, I haven't worn that shirt since that day. Okay, it's been a bit chilly for short sleeves, but now I'm wondering what drawer its in. This rocks! I love it! Thank you for posting this. It's such a pleasant surprise!

Great shot of Chip, doing what he does best. Sorry you had to wait so long. I think it took longer to find a parking spot then the drive down LOL.

Great shot. I haven't met chip but I thoroughly enjoy his images and writings here - this image adds to my understanding of him. Well done.

Now this is a portrait and a half. That means it really rocks. As good as you are getting with what you call "informal portraits", I am losing ground to you fast in this arena:) And Chip...well, you've picked on an easy subject...with a great profile. Well done:)
wingnut55

goodoleboy
Oh, so that's the oft mentioned Chipka. Very interesting.
npauling
He looks to be really thinking hard about his next capture, a lovely portrait.
Katraz
Great portrait.

Very nice portrait! I recognize that face! I remember that day too. I think I got almost the exact same shot, so I must have been standing right next to you. It's very crisp and I can still taste that pomegranate walnut sauce that smothered the chicken we ate. I think Chip ordered that, or was it you? I remember it though and I wish that weekend could have been a lot longer! This is great. I really like the way you caught the light and the 12th floor parking garage...and of course, Chip, who--contrary to what he says--was probably thinking up some devious plot twist involving carnivorous pansies, or futuristic Russians who all talk like Vladimir Putin.

Hey!!!! I know him! I'm so sorry for not being around much, I've been put in a position where I only have a few minutes to do any comments at all, and I hate it!!! This is a great shot of Chip, I love the shots of that weekend,....it was for me the best one of the summer. Every time someone posts something from it, I get the opportunity to reminisce and live it all over again. Thanks you for that!
mermaid
what an outstanding wonderful portrait shot of Chip, Tara!
