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!

I really love this, Tara! I'm such a sucker for old, dilapidated buildings, and this is a beauty! You see so many wonderful things where most of us just walk past with no notice.

Excellent example of distressed urban geometry (okay, I just made that up, I don't think there is any such thing). If Mondrian had been a photographer, though, I think he would have taken photos like this...

Great framing and play of light on each level of panels. Had that texture mill been here in Chicago it would have probably been converted to condos.

How perfect that someone who creates textile art has turned an old textile factory into a piece of abstract art. Fabulous.

Beautiful---reminds me of an odd structure on Lake Tahoe, Jordan and I were hiking around and saw something similar. We never did figure out what it was but there were lots of windows like this. You do light SO well and this one just rocks!!!

Classic industrial design, very functional. Plenty in New York City when I was a child. Since then, either torn down or made into complexes of stores, etc... I wonder where the industries went and the production. When the labor force moved out, the industries folded, or was it the other way around? When electricity came, bare light bulbs hung down from the ceilings by their electric wires (no frosted bulbs here!). Interesting to see one of these again. Keep up the good work! And say "Hi!" to Bill from me! :-)

Amazing capture Tara. God bless.

Wonderful, Tara. I agree with wysiwig. :)

Every bit of this is as important as the whole. There are so many variations on the theme: diversity with uniformity. Wonderful, Tara.

Awesome shot. It's been quite some time since I've been to Sanford...

Oh my, this IS great, with all those glass textures, the lines, as colours; really a fantastic photo. In a way this gives me a kind of inspiration, haha don't know what kind of inspiration, but it gives such a boost to my imagination, Tara. btw thank you so much for the link to that dancing bird, what fun. And I'm sure now that 'my bird' was tap dancing, LOL!

Yes, mondrian-like. In zoom, the details are truly beautiful. I assume part from your camera work, part from your postwork. You brought out many types of light and detail, and made them super-real, scintillating, like a special light had been shined on each pane and pillar. The decay on top and in the sills and bricks---esp along the top---is terrific. As is the detail and light in the grills below/in front. A massive abstract---this should be a wall-size image. (Even the telephone wires add to the composition.) I lived in Worcester Mass, and we had a big mill at the end of our street, and it was gloriously old and decayed and had much of this presence. It needed your eye to make it get up and sing. Terrific.
