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:-)

Great Capture, Bill. But couldn't you keep the cold air up there? Our Sunday was a bit nippy in Oklahoma. (signed) "Hot-housr Flower"

Outstanding is the word. I love weather shots as they are so unpredictable and you always seem to capture the mood of the moment. Thanks Bill.

Superb! I love how the landscape tells the scale of these clouds.

I can tell you're looking Northwest, because I can see my house! LOL! waves Great capture of this ineresting cloud formation. We rarely see this sort of thing here. There's so seldom an "edge" to the clouds, since clouds in these parts are ubiquitous!

Magnifico capture of the ominous cloud formations, Bill. The last time I saw anything like this around here was back in December of 2005.
