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!

George Wendt is looking pretty good these days. She looks somewhat bemused. And there is our sloucher again back for a third appearance. Superb color isolation.

That guy/kid/teen/young man in the background doesn't seem to care too much about what is going on. I love the woman peeking around the big man. Wonderful capture of so many emotions.

Great capture Tara! She's holding it together quite well; he's just being just insensitive and the guy in the background is in his own world

Super candid Tara.

Fab candid! What a great multiple catch you made, Tara. So many different emotions in such a small space, a microcosm of life.

Cool candid shot...

He's got my figure, but also a lot more hair lucky bastid. I like your PP on this Tara, well done.

Excellent. Smart use of selective coloring here.
helanker
Yes, I agree with fred about the colors selected :-) And I really like the "pretended" relaxing expression on the guys face :)

Hehe - it wrapped around her face, but went to other way when it got to his..... What a fun shot, Tara!
MrsRatbag
Well captured candid! Wonder what she's smiling about? It looks like it's quite amusing...

It's so fun to see the same cast of characters in several of your pics---the background people, esp. The guy slumped on a bench is here. And he makes a line going through the woman and the man (their heads are in line). And you have a person between the man and the woman, with glasses? Behind the couple? He/she looks pulled right out of frame by something; his/her presence not only completes a kind of 'circle' (with the couple) but takes the shot well out of our view---again, a street thing that you've caught more than once. The man's head is also framed by a head on each side (in the background). All this is to say, this is really well-composed; your eye was alive and keen this day---it had but a moment for each shot, but it must've sensed the balances, contrasts, etc, to get shots like this. The couple stand as representatives of the scene, almost like they were self-chosen; the man's stern gaze helps that; and your leaving them in color helps bring them out as well. The rest is a sea of bokeh'd faces, making a fine contrast of characters, and of color and black and white, sharp with blurred, etc. Your crop intensifies, brings out the 'moment' feeling. (Decisive moment.) Really well done. I even like the feel of the guy's t-shirt.
