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:-)

Sublime! Much of my family is from Kansas so I have a few old black and white photos from early 1900's. Have nothing in color so I enjoyed seeing this, very beautiful scenery! (Lynn)

LOL - Might have tried throwing a golf ball in front of the lens. LOL I saw this and thought it was so well maintained here that it ought to be a golf course. Gorgeous view and excellent capture of it.

Most serene vista in this fine panoramic capture, Bill. Everything looks so immaculately manicured, with not a leaf out of place.

A perfect scene Bill. Rather envious as we had heavy snow here today.
