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:-)

Well I see a hard aluminum case with a USB cord, a possible mounting clip, and a watch. But I don't get caption. Dense Dick

Fun tread to laugh for sure and of course many good picture so as yours. Great still btw. Very hard to capture shiny or polished surface, you did good.
MrsLubner
wonderfully clear and the message is plain enough. Also, I like the "business" look to this.

Oh wow, splendid clarity and lighting effects in this magnificent portrait of a black-dial watch propped up against a 500GB iomega external hard drive. I've got a Maxtor myself. Looks almost the same as yours.

My! Your Hard Drive looks a lot more fancy than mine. Mines a Maxtor 500gb. (Whatever that means!) Great low light picture, Bill. A really good job. Must try some Macro stuff now. Nice one. Rob
