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!

A great shot of this wonderful old door 'knob,' Tara! You are the wizardess of details...

Good capture. Sadly, the wood is starting to show serious deterioration. Someone needs to do somw restorative work before it is too late.

Great capture and POV!!!

Just look at that groove where the handle has worn the wood! A most satisfying composition, and I want to actually feel the surfaces.

Lovely old door and handle but it doesn't look too well used.

A really lovely view of this door handle! Definitely not something ordinary, but rather antique looking. I can only imagine what it leads to within! Wonderful capture my friend!

Lots of character in that old hand-forged latch!

Love the textures and this crux.

though a small section, it has a sweep to it which I can't quite describe. And the sweep all leads to that doorknob, which has wonderful hand-hewn work on it, with all the imperfections that make such work rare and beautiful. And you caught all the angles, beveled surfaces, etc, very clearly. Plus you caught the imperfections (decays) of the wood too. A very moody piece---is that too strong a word, because it's really very clear and straight foward: But "moody" because it's aged, and seems receding into time, and maybe I meant to say "nostalgic". Very sensitively caught, and fine seeing too, to stop and capture this old beauty. And speaking of putting the main subject to one side---that's what you did here; and you posted this the day before your comment in my gallery. So, you've been doing it yourself all along!

Your fine eye for detail is evident here - this is a wonderful handcrafted piece of hardware & seriously weathered wood. I don't think I've seen this model in the doorknob aisle at Home Depot...

Such a beautiful detail you show us here, Tara! A great mood, lovely light and textures, plus such an ancient colors makes this a very special photo, my friend. I love the cross, which is on the upper part of the doorknob, it's so fitting that church.
