Description
Made of 3 Tara images w/ her blessing:
here
here, and
here.
The Japanese character is from her 'Temple Bell' shot:
It's one half the symbol for Peace...
* * * * * *
'Capturing Tara' isn't easy (lol):
She makes opulent & lush images
yet she'll crop them like the most intimate objects.
She makes sweeping & majestic images
yet they feel like she made them just for you.
She's classical---meaning she has balance, grace & proportion:
Yet she posts sensual image after sumptuous image--
she does things with mere pots that a lot of people don't do with mountains:
She's classical with a big deep heart...
Annnnnnd...
she posts Writing: Deep, touching, funny & sometimes devastating poems
from her life or others' lives, or musings on the world we live in,
and whatever she writes--whatever, however--
she always reveals love at the end.
And here's the thing:
Her love is all over everything.
She loves creating, inspiring & supporting,
she'll leave you poems for a comment (!) or just say "OMG!!!"
and everyone who knows her knows that once she's your friend,
she's your friend. Hell, she'll move half of Canada if you need it:
To Tara, friendship is sacred; connection, divine
and art? The voice of both.
I am sooooooo happy I've become your friend Tara!
May this little montage speak what words can't, and tell you that knowing you has been like those mountains you live near, or the many things you capture for us everyday: It's opulent, radiant & filled with love, and I'm so grateful to have found it in my life.
Oh...and you know what that Japanese character means?
It's an ancient Chinese drawing for "grain" and it meant:
"The music of grains, swaying harmoniously in the wind."
Couldn't have said it better myself...

I'll be back to comments tonight!
Peace to all,
Mark

Very Very nice!!! Beautiful for Tara!
You could not have described Tara any better than this. Every single word and the way you've interpreted her fotos is exactly who she is. She is one of my very, very, very best friends and I am blessed. And--she's a fricken riot, as you will soon find out!!
Fabulous work!!! I love the colors.
Mark this is simply amazing and in all honesty just what I needed tonight to give me strength. This warm and loving dedication to your friend warms my heart and tells me how special Tara must be. Each image you did for her is breathtaking and like a journey all it's own to a perfect utopia.
very fine piece of work, mark.
Looks special mark x
Oh Mark, this is gorgeous! I love what you've done with my photography in every iteration, both in this finished piece and in the interim steps you showed me earlier. Thank you so much, for both words and images. Your vision is a most excellent and worthy goal, my friend.
Fabuloso!! You have put into words what exhudes from Tara and wafts across the Big Pond from Seattle, and the images are divine!
Awesome images. Excellent work!!
OH Mark! These peaces are all so lovely and life-affirming in all its beauty. There is light and so much love in them. The symbols are really awesome in these images. Great collaboration of two beautiful persons and your words about Tara are so warm and wonderful and so well deserved.
How fitting the dedication in word and paint. Tara is multidimensional as are you dear heart!
fantastic work, collage and dedication!! sublime!
Wow, what an absolutely marvelous piece of work, Mark! Like a dive into a deep clear pool on a hot day, or wandering into paradise... You could not be more on the money describing Tara, she's a fantastic human being!
I'll be sure to visit Tara's gallery, sounds interisting.Love what you've done with the chinese symbol ,very beautiful work.
fantastic! excellent work and i like all the variations very much, the cumulative effect is gorgeous!
Very nice images and dedication! Excellent artwork!
"The music of grains, swaying harmoniously in the wind."è ciò che penso in questo momento!:)
Is this the same Tara I know, or once knew? Ultra stellar Japanese character floats in lovely harmony with the amorphous, vividly colored, diffuse and somewhat grunged textures in this magnificent composition, Mark!
What gorgeous images, full of vibrant color and life. And your tribute to Tara is so heartfelt. It sent me on a wonderful journey through her gallery that I might not have taken had you not introduced and intrigued me with your amazing words. Her work spoke to me in so many ways, just as yours speaks to and touches me. CC
Stunning creations. Excellent work and treatments.
OMG! (Tara-esque..?) There is something about all of these shots that make them look like we're viewing through a cavern with a waterfall. I think it is so cool! Although, the bottom one is very bold as though it came out of the cave and sits at the entrance waiting to be discovered. Just lovely what you've done with her work, Mark. Awesome!
Oh My Gosh!! Another of those montages you make that are just mind boggling, heart stopping, breathtaking beauty. I had to go look at the original images, and each is stunning on it's own. combined, as you have done, it's .. well .. I've already said it. Uniquely Tara. and awesomely you.
