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

Nice capture of Ansel there. That water does look very inviting. Does the river do canoes or kayaks?

The stance may look awkward but I was in a "rock solid" position:) Like the clarity of the water and can virtually hear the rush of the water. Well done.

Now this is a Ninja shot...I mean, look at that pose: it's dancing crane with one leg singing quite a difficult pose that takes decades of practice. At least that's what the ancient Ninja Photographer, Suzuki Mitsubishi said, but I'm more of a student of the Shao-lin Two-Stomach method myself...it favors slopes more than horizontals and works quite well, I must say, even though I do miss the leg motions. Now as for this shot: I'm wondering if you utilized the somewhat rare Singing Dragon stance: I read about that in one of those older Ninja Photographer books, but I can't remember who it's by. Isuzu Honda, I think, or Midori Saki...I can't remember...and did you know that Midor Sake means "Green Saki." And I have no idea what any of that has to do with anything, other than an odd riff on the Ninja Photographer theme. As for this shot, which is what I'm supposed to be commenting on, I'll say that this is utterly brilliant. There's a book, Metamagical Themas which is totally brilliant. A bit dated now, but still it's wonderful. There's a whole section in it about recursion and self-reference, and because of that I always find myself looking for either recursive or self-referential stuff in art, and this is so perfectly in synch with that...a photograph of a photographer photographing a photograph...which reminds me of something Flip Wilson's character "Geraldene" declared about love, which is: That feelin' you feel when you're about to feel a feelin' that you ain't never felt before....isn't recursion fun!? I love this photo and the wild trip my mind just went on, and yeah...I hear that this weekend is supposed to be a lot better than today...today wasn't so bad, but it got wet again! Later in the week, Chicago weather should be in a more cooperative mood! This is great!

Stunning and wonderful capture of Bill and the water! Most excellent

Hehe - well it's good seeing this photo for the second time today! LOL! Good to see Bill wasn't in as precarious a position as he looks like he's in! I'll bet that water is cold! It was soooooo much fun seeing you guys today - and my new pal Mandy, too! :-D

This is a fantastic shot of a photographer taking a picture of a wonderful scene, but this candid image makes it far more interesting than if it was just an image of a river. Of course, you know this. :c) That is a wonderful scene of the river, though.

Looks like a great river to cool off in after a long walk.

Chip's ramble has set me giggling! I just love this pic and what with the adorable bloke and the enticing little shallow bit to dip ones toe in at the very edge it's a favourite to savour again at some time.

HA! What a pose this is. I am sure Bill got a smashing shot out of it, just like you got a smashing shot of Bill :-)) Super and fun :)

This looks like a wonderful place to stop and take pics. And two terrific subjects in one pic! You were having fun! I'm looking forward to more pics as guys travel.
MrsRatbag

A great title for this excellent capture. Bill looks to be getting a serious shot of the water.

A great image.... Love the ripples over the rocks.. In spots it looks so clear And esp like seeing a photographer take a pic of a photographer and him taking the same pic but in a different spot.. Excellent like killing a bird with 2 stones...that old saying ya know Hugs Susan~

Very cool photo, the river looks beautiful, and the added bonus of capturing a photographer deeply engrossed in his work is a super bonus. Of course, being me, you just know I'd have a hard time resisting building some kind of improbable configuration out of all those rocks =) Lovely photo, wish I'd been paying attention when you posted it!
