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

Another beauty of a "Tara" shot; love the postwork on this!

Your imagination does climb the stairs of considerable talent! +5 from doarte's MADHOUSE

Yup, this image has my imagination climbing those stairs right along with yours. Really like the way you've muted the background and used High Key to further brighten the entire image...something I have never done yet. Way to go :*

Oh Dierbaar - this is just incredible work! Very moody and along with the words reach deep! Excellent my friend! :)

You have the perfect piece of poetry to accompany your stellar stair shot.

How interesting is this! The version I know goes As I was letting down my hair I met a man who didn't care. He didn't care again today.. I LOVE 'em when they get that way! I now think maybe it was in my book of parodies...Hmmm!

Love the simplicity!

Wonderful image in B/W! :)

Cool black and white contrast and effects in this one. I had a suspicion from the start of this series that Battery Kinsie was haunted. Not unusual for an old and quasi decrepit compound this large.

Outstanding shot! Excellent in black and white. Very cool POV as well!

Very subtle. A first look might cause one to think it was just an ordinary, slightly out of focus, stairway. On second look I thought of a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The black and white, the soft focus, I can hear two sets of footsteps when I look at this. Someone is being chased. Someone is running scared.

Such a good atmosphere ! I agree for Hitchcock :)

Wonderful capture. I love the mood in this- especially in monotone- great job!

While I am not into poetry, I think I know that one.. Shock! Great postwork.. Rob

Oooh, this really pops and sizzle and oozes with visual excitement. I love the composition, the stark black and white, and all of the details that fade from bold in the foreground to dream-like and shifty in the background. I love the poetic quote as well, it's a delicious compliment to an already marvelous and deliciously moody photo.
