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:-)

Beautiful kitty, and it's true they first notice the empty bowls and plates, and then have a say in it. ;c) Excellent capture! My two cats are the same way.

LOL! That's perfect!

The way cats (and other animals to a lesser scale) can communicate just with eye contact is almost scary at times. :)

Beautiful photo.

No idea myself how to do frames! Well done! A lovely portrait of this clever cat.
lucyjo
Excellent capture and framing.

Cute cat and great shot. They always seem to be hungry. I call my cats 'glutton guts'. I like the framing.

She looks like somebody should be busy filling up the plate soon or else. :)

"... nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty ..." It's the reproachful look that gets you -

A cuddly model...although I suppose one should not mess around with this kitty. I like the colours and the well chosen frame. A really beautiful animal portrait.
