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:-)

Now that is dedication to your sport!Excellent image Bill, not sure if I'm mentioned before, I'm not into fishing.This however could be quite entertaining, though it seems like a hell of a beating for a 1 fish bag.Thanks Bill.

I've not been fishing before, but if I did I think i'd try something a little less drastic than this. Excellent post Bill.

I hope it's warm while they are doing this fishing...looks like it could be very wet and very cold but I do love to fish, just never tried this kind before, a wonderful capture!

I have never fished in these conditions, but I have broken the ice to fish on New Years Day, quite a few time as well. It used to be a regular thing with me and a few buddies, always went fishing 1st January no matter how drunk we got the night before. I packed up fishing about twenty years ago due to failing health, but I would love to give this a go. Seems a bit harsh though only a 1 fish limit. Excellent capture, well worth the extra click to zoom for the full details. Bravo!!!!!

Nothing like fresh fish for a meal. Excellent. Aloha
