My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
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!
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!

Impressive gears on the door! Great shot!

Oooh! I like this kind of stuff! There's a sense of mystery to this as well as a sense of the everyday, even if the everyday no longer exists as it used to! What colors too; it's so nicely moody. Yeah, I like this a lot, especially that patchwork paint job; it looks a wee bit like camouflage, but it also begs the question: why camouflage the inside of a room? I'm sure there's a logical reason for that particular appearance, but right now I'm really intrigued by the illogical reason!

Great picture!!

I know this is part of a fort, which is not necessarily a soft place, but that's just how this feels--kind of soft and easy. Does that make sense? Probably not, but well, nothing unusual!!

AW That is an awesome shot Tara. The postwork is gorgeous. In all a beautiful Image. :-)

A superb image! It immediately brought to mind the reception 'hatch' at a local Grammar School. They had an uber efficient woman who dislikied and mistrusted any visitors, which as you can imagine are many at a school. I had to call there to collect a book: she opened the sliding hatch in response to my knock, and when I told her where I was from (a very INFERIOR school in her eyes) she SLAMMED the hatch shut, almost catching my head in it. She would have loved a mechanism like this, it would be even better than having the hatch sharpened.

LOL @ Andrea's comment reference the "hatch". Isn't it fun to see the reactions of others to your postings...particularly when you post bits and pieces of unique things. This look through a sashless, glassless window at the odd contraption dating from 1910 is fascinating. To me, this is a perfect example of the worth of shooting something from every POV possible. Great eye and outstanding result. :*

Once again, you demonstrate how the ordinary can in an instant become a work of art. Angles, subtle colors, light and shade all wonderfully composed! Brilliant! Excellent photography, Tara!

Very nicely composed! Whenever I see old ironworks like this, the gears in my head start turning furiously, trying to figure out what the heck the thing did.

You have such an eye for composition and colour. I love this!

whether you did postwork or not, it is a tara shot all the way, with feelings of your digital paintings. The softness of 'transition' (between color-areas) is beautiful, the way you captured the splotches in the back walls is wonderful visual stuff, the light on the gears is soft & beautiful, the highlights on the frame of the window are wonderful contrast to all the shadows, and the overall tones of the piece are just beautiful. Soft, mysterious and very rich. A real gem of a shot. (I'd love to see this large.)
