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:-)

A sign of a true artist.. to be as old as you are and spending 24 hours with grandchildren all over, under, around and through with all their new Santa Clause and still be able to post a great pix.. You the man. As far as the lot of catching up to do........Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Mug lifted in your direction. ;-)

Yes, 24-hours away from this site can create monumental havoc when checking out the e-bots. The color really pops out against the gray background in this fine shot, Bill. Incidentally, in checking out your color selection method, I found it no quicker than mine. In fact, there were instances where yours was somewhat more tedious than mine.
