you're going to get so far with your talents and your open mind. it's so good that you try to experiment and how many good results have come from that. I feel like you don't really care what people find of your work and that makes them even more marvellous. Keep making those beautiful creations, Tara!

i'm pretty sure i could speak for everyone by saying that tara is a true artist. she takes wonderful photos, is a fantastic and eloquent writer, she sings, has an genuine appreciation for classic films, vintage fashion...honestly, what doesn't tara do that isn't relevant to art? tara is an old soul and is one of the most compassionate people on flickr and leaves the best, and most meaningful comments on everyone's photos. she really makes you feel like you're actually creating something worthwhile. thank you tara for being such a lovely person, and i'd love to get to know you better.

Tara sent me a print and it sits on my wall, one of the most beautiful I've ever had. Thanks for your generosity of spirit, your poetry and for your art Tara.

I'll make all the paper snowflakes I can and send them your way, in hopes of snow. And then you could take the already great photos you do, but now with snow in mind. Keep doing what you do, Tara. It's incredibly inspiring.

Sometimes she will say a little thing, and I just have to cry. Because she is so sweet and genuine. She really has the ability to touch people's lives.

Tara, you are by far one of the most stunning girls I know. Your talent and potential is remarkable and I couldn't be happier that you've found your home in photography. From my experience as a freelance model, I can easily say that you would be a very successful model - in portraiture or otherwise. When I was your age, I was doing exactly what you are doing. Let me tell you, doll: It only gets better. Always acknowledge the opportunities you have and take advantage of them. Love, Carlina

tara's pictures remind me of victorian dresses, days when the sun doesn't set until ten at night, and parisian dreams. tara is a real sweetheart, a wonderful friend, and a magnificent photographer.

T for Terrific, A for Amazing, R for Really lovely and A for Adorable. Or something like that :D I don't know her that well, but would love to, because she spreads such kindness on flickr! I can't believe how many people she has probably given a smile by leaving such sweet comments. So Tara deserves to be given a whole lot of smiles back. And hugs. her photography? It's different - which is good. Kind of like those moments when you just wake up and the dream in your head is still going on but the colours of the day are already entering and they collide and for a moment you are neither here nor there. If that makes sense. Or rather like a ghost placing its hand upon you, hauntingly telling you that you are not alone. Or something else, something magical. I just like how Tara's pictures make you feel like you're allowed to try out different shapes of creativity - you don't have to be like your flickr contacts - you don't have to have perfect focus and you don't have to have romantic colours. You can be real if you want. You can show what you feel, and it will touch people. Just like Tara does.
