My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
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!
Â
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!Â

Very cool collage and great point about the 'styles' love the colours as well

You are absolutely correct! Photos are great, the cars are great, as are your insights. Rick

An interesting insight, indeed, Tara! And you are absolutely right.... It's amazing how the styles (cars, fashion, architecture) change from era to era. These are wonderful photos, by the way! :-D

I agree. There was, however, an interest in quality which gives vehicles of this time that extra something, class. Your photos demonstrate your theory with that too!

Lovely collage. I totally agree with your views about design through the ages. Car designs actually changed quit rapidly in comparison to other things such as architecture. I think that is why new designs are sought after or become so popular. It might not be the best design or the most practical, but if it is different it becomes interesting to those tired of the same old thing. Perhaps that is also why clothing styles rotate. In a lifetime it is not unusual to see a style worn by your mother or grandmother to come back in fashion.

As you know I agree with your observations, but getting to each of the photos...very good stuff...your eye, your insight and your new high tech camera. Great combination. Looking forward to much more. The sky is the limit:)

Nice shots!

The joke about the Ford Model T was that you could have it in any color you wanted as long as it was black. I agree with you about styles and a preference for the "retro" look. That's why I ride a motorcycle that looks like a 1947 Indian. Its the only one on the road. This is a great collection of images. Of course, now I'll have to spend time trying to identify them.

Superb captures and collage Tara. God bless.

I love these shots of all the highlights (to me) of these old beauties. These were all the things that make them so cool now: the wire spoke wheels, the running boards, the well-defined fender shapes...your observations about style are exactly right. It's all about the differences. And your shots are a beautifully loving homage to exactly that!

Good insight. Many people tend to romanticize the virtues of the past & overlook the qualities of the present. Aside from the utilitarian designs of things like cars & appliances, it also applies to arts like film & music - I know lots of people who are so wrapped up in nostalgia about the past that they're missing out on a lot of fine contemporary work...

My favorite cars are 50/60's. Great collage and insight.

This could make and indeed should make a great poster! I'd have it on my wall Tara! Beautiful shots all.. Rob
