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

Wonderful work,

A study in single minded concentration. This has a nice photojournalistic feel to it. Excellent capture. I like the peace symbol in the window over his head. A nice touch.

When I saw the title I thought 'a murder scene' but this is a great shot Tara and this is NOT a pun but it's great in B&W.

When you get even older, everyone finds you invisible. I think it's because they don't want to be too near in case they might have to help you, like if you've fallen and can't get your email, LOL!
awjay
nice candid

Stunning catch and capture Tara. God Bless.

Yes i do wonder that Tara! Which is why I try to keep faces out of most of my photography...lol. Is that Chip? or a random dude? He does seem very focused , haha, on his shot.

Superb. I agree, it is great to not give a tinker's cuss about what other folk think of you.. especially as they don't do any thinking about any woman over 40.

Very cool capture

Well...yes and no...when we get a little older we become interesting again as the little old lady or the crotchety old man in young people's images. Haha!

You probably are in someone's shots! I know I'm probably one of those clone-out problems in someone's shots...;p This is an excellent candid, and he has good taste in cameras.

A fine contrast once again...the rounded human form against stylish, angular manmade forms. An excellent addition to your collection of candid people portraits:)
Isabelle711
Yes I have wondered that. LOL!!!! This past Autumn our friend Scott showed me a pic he shot of me while at the rhythm and roots festival. I never once thought anyone there wanted my pic. LOL!!!!!!! Most excellent capture my friend of someone doing what they love. :))))) Thank you for sharing. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))

HAHAHA! I like your conclusions, Tara and I do like this shot too :-)

he is looking hard at what ever he shooting at

Wonderful capture in B&W! :)

This is a marvelous shot and it's cool to see other photographers in Chicago, even if they aren't associated with Renderosity, or are they!? The contrasts in this are fantastic and I love the way it has reached that level of timelessness that so many great black and white photos achieve, without even trying. As for whether or not you might have been in any of his shots...it's hard to say. I've noticed that a lot of non-Renderosity photographers don't tend to focus on things that have people anywhere near them...they always shoot just above people level, because they want that Neo Art Deco gargoyle perched just next to the pigeon. This is wonderful and I love the intensity of this guy's focus. He and I have the same haircut...sort of.

I agree with you, Tara! At a certain age, women are invisible to the eyes of all men! ;) Excellent photo in B/W! :)
npauling
An excellent capture and the B&W really makes it pop. I would think the possibilities of being in other galleries is pretty high with all the cameras and cell phones around.

Great pic Hugs Susan~
RodS
Well, he's shooting Canon, so he's got to be OK! :-D A great candid, Tara! This gent looks like he's totally focused on whatever he's shooting.. I know my mug is in a gallery or two around here! LOL!

Invisibility is a great thing! I understand it very well! Wonderful shot!
moochagoo
I agree with Chipka (first line only....)
hipps13
wonder what goes on in the mind as to what each of us see is it the same or maybe a different thought wonderful, Tara May warm hugs, Linda Kaye

I love it when photographers get photographed!

This is the kind of shots i like to take. catch other people in doing something and being totally unaware of being photographed. Some people may think it is sbeing sneaky, but it is natural and unposed. (Unposed?) Nice capture Tara!
nikolais
