Science lesson

July 14, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 13 Comments

On a rain soaked street, far from lampposts and shoulders, a car sat parked, the driver’s tires straddling the side of the road. Rounding a blind curve, Stella never saw the other car blocking her lane. In that moment the universe split, radiating out like a spiderweb. Each new world held a version of the … Continue reading Science lesson

A brighter place

July 12, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

Except for taking some time off while pondering whether I wanted to continue my writing and photography, this week marks my fourth full year of blogging. While this particular site only began back in December of this year, I once had another blog that started in mid-July, 2007 ~ which is currently sitting in limbo until … Continue reading A brighter place

Self-portrait

July 10, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 27 Comments

I did get a chance to practice my portraiture skills, but came away with zero photos of my vast extended … Continue reading Best dressed photographer

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. ~ Thomas Paine Have a safe and happy Independence Day

Portraits

July 3, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

During our trip to Tennessee, The Boy and I drove over to the Knoxville Zoo. Since I've been wanting to work more on portraits, here are a few from our visit. (Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and/or a Nikon CoolPix S205) For more … Continue reading Portraits
