I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

Heartwarming story that did bring a smile to my face, Rod...the flowers are beautiful... I'm sure you know what they are by now, but just in case you don't, they are iris...gorgeous, yellow iris...

We shall dub them Yellow Ralph Iris! Works for me!

Ralph's irises! A lovely story that brought a smile to my face. Some people are among the worst things that inhabit the Earth, others are like Ralph, proof that humanity is not entirely a waste of resources!

We did finally figure out these are irises (botany was never one of my areas of expertise LOL); not sure which sub-species, but Yellow Ralph Iris works just fine for me! ππ

Certain that Ralph is smiling big from above every time the irises bloom. Great story, Rod. We need such uplifting stories now, because the Dark Side is trying really, really hard to win.

Our memories and sentiments are who we are.
Your articulate revelations, with this photograph of Ralph's flowers, are an excellent expression.

A very moving story!...

If I'm not mistaken those bulbs will just keep on keeping on, and will need to be thinned out and shared to keep the story going. =)

Such a nice story, Rod. Thank you for sharing. Through doing so, Ralph and his positive attitude survive - along with his mystery flowers (itβs all connected). π

A wonderfully written and very sentimental story that accomplished its intent. We met Ralph. Thank you, Rod, and may I add his best traits certainly rubbed off on you. :-)

oh, great upload, and love your story. (Like I say, you can share memories anytime!) First off, I didn't know Jo was a photographer! (I think that's great!) Second, it's great, isn't it, when someone in a group just picks the group up and brings light every time (ie, Ralph). I'd imagine you're one of those people too (you are here, for sure). Loving story about Ralph. And I love that he gave you these flowers because you 2 loved them so, and now they're on your front sidewalk. The central flower here is shining and has beautiful texture; and the leaves are light-tinged dancers surrounding it all. The background flowers are like quiet flames. Beautiful capture of these irises, with a touching story. Grazie, Signore! And I wouldn't have known "iris" myself, as my botanical knowledge is, trust me, much worse than yours. (There are people here who know every damned flower in existence, and really, I just wanna scream, "how'd you LEARN all that???" I know "petal," "stamen," and "bud". I know an occasional "stalk," and I'm pretty fast about "soil". And I mean, I drew flowers---which I found impossible---but still didn't know what they were. So you're doing a lot better than I am...) Thanks for another shining pick-me-up for everyone. You're holding up the fort for all of us!
