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

your photos sometimes are paintings, this has a very painterly feel to it, the layers, the delicate areas of light, the sudden emergence of clarity & detail about 2/3 of the way up the water, etc etc. Yet it's wholly a photograph. The foreground & mountain background are almost 'thought' into the composition, and the hues---silvery blues & blues all tinged with a kind of peach-pink---are beautiful. This is a real Carin shot, because while you have many kinds, it has that intensity and inwardness that you get in a lot of the shots I've seen. Fine message too, to give to all your friends. I hope this day finds you well!

Dier is n prag foto Carin. Dit laat my droom oor Suidwes Afrika. God gaan nog vir my deure oopmaak dat ek weer daar n draai gaan maak en fotos neem vir Afrika. A stunning capture Carin. It makes me dream of South West Africa. I know the Lord will open doors for me to visit South West Africa and capturing tons of pictures.

Ah, this is gorgeous! What a view! Indeed, life is too short, and this image is a perfect reminder of that! There's such beauty in the world and such grandeur that we really shouldn't waste our time on the mundane, especially if it's the useless mundane. I love this shot and the sentiment you've expressed because of something that I see whenever I look at slugs, wasps, woodlice, and a particular Russian: the fleeting nature of life is what makes it so important--moments once experienced never return, but what they leave behind and what we leave behind when we're fully engaged and fully happy, is what makes a difference! This image is proof of that! It's a joy to behold as much so as it was a joy for you to capture. There's a record of your peace, joy,and contentment in this and you've transmitted that! For me, this is one of the many things art does so well, and WOW...you've done it well here! Ha! And you didn't even resort to snails and slugs and woodlice to do it! Brilliant!
