Description

When I first started taking photographs in 2007, Philippe was a blast of inspiration. As a beginnier, I learned an incredible amount from studying his work. As an experienced photographer, I continue to be impressed, delighted, and inspired by Philippe's photography. If you look at his gallery and you look at my gallery and you see similar sensibilities, I want you to know that he was here first. We've been on a short trip to Louisiana, and I'm just now getting caught up. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that Philippe was leaving Renderosity! I am sorry to see you go, old friend, but I understand your reasons. This scarred and sanded Ford truck is my going-away gift to you, in remembrance of all the old vehicles you and I have photographed over the years. Perhaps one day we will meet in some ancient truck yard and recognize each other by our kindred spirits. Click here to see Philippe's gallery: moochagoo

Sooo....were might I find Philippe's gallery? This looks like a 1938-1939 Ford pick-up truck captured in your signature style. BTW - In case there is any doubt about what I mean - fabulous light and detail and usually something no one else has done.

A perfect parting gift for Philippe. Now you point it out I see of course the connections! I too am sad to see him leave, but I understand why. His going makes me wonder how many will be left.

I love the photo, especially the composition. SO you!

I just left Philippe an appreciation...I do see the connection between your and his photography, and how his work helped you find your deep 'voice'. (Your deep eye.) This is a typically penetrating Tara piece, and perfect for a bow of gratitude to a fellow great artist. Though this is so heavily excerpted, it feels totally natural, as all your excerpts do...to where it's not an excerpt. It feels like a shot of a couple. The tall grill is great balance to the single headlight. and the two make a wonderful couple. As for the decay, you presented it vividly but also somehow gently. (Some decay shots shout, whereas this talks in a normal, conversational tone.) I like even how you cut off the top of the grill, it feels natural. This 'couple' didn't put on airs for you, they just continued walking and talking to each other...Beautiful work, and I assume you're home now, and hope your settling-in is smooth and peaceful. Welcome home once more, you two. Enjoy your stay after so much (and such rich) travel...

A fine farewell image and I feel the loss every time I visit this site... breaks my heart to see so many leaving here. Sigh.

So another artist has had enough of Rendo's continuing stupidity? Sad... Very sad. I wonder if they'll ever get the message? But they "appreciate every one of us...." so they say.

This is a wonderful shot, Tara, and a beautiful going-away gift for him.

Rust is an enemy if you're a car owner, but we photographers find a way to make appealing (a-peeling?) art out of it, as this photo proves...

I believe, you were not the only one, who got inspired by Phillips photographs. How on earth did I miss his Gallery? I regret that now. I sincerely hope he wont delete his gallery. But I am glad we have some of his inspiration in YOUR gallery, Tara. I love your beautiful rusty Ford nose here :-)
