Hi, My name is Bill and I am updating my homepage to reflect a wonderful event in my life...marriage, September 18, 2010, to my best friend Tara...known to many of you as auntietk here on Renderosity.
We "met" shortly after I joined Renderosity in August 2008. We share a love for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting to share photographic excursions and information with other Renderositians ( is "Renderositians" even a word? ). LOL
As for me, it seems like I've been taking pictures all my life but I didn't get serious enough to purchase my first Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera until May 2008. In May 2009 I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
My subject areas of interest include absolutely everything but with a frequent return to airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
If you are curious, I am pictured above in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport. I used to fly and train others to fly airplanes. That will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation. Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.
Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Lovely shot and nice processed to accentuate the ripples in the puddles. The joys of youth and the simple things that brought us joy, most of which we sadly leave behind as we grow older. A very heartwarming image, Bill!

wow, your 11th upload! (I looked!) And it's almost a year ago...really nice shot of your grandson, and he's placed beautifully; and the water & its ripples are finely captured too. I see that some of your regulars are already present at this prehistoric date (lol). And I also noticed, on looking at the gallery pages, that you had some amazing shots at the beginning. I'll have to get a pass and go looking pretty soon. A very fine shot of a child enjoying the simple things of life. We know from your early B&Ws that you were at home with the camera a long time, it's just nice to see how good you were when you started here.
