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:-)

Lol a whacky and creative way to show off the lads! Love the cream on the chin and Nose obviously a good cake!

Ah-h, Grandsons. Have say, Bill, much as I like the boys, layering them onto the IR background with their strong, close shadows doesn't work so well for me. Always good to experiment. Dick

While the background may be a bit strong, the twins and the icing on the face are moments to be treasured. :)

I agree:-) Let me see what I can do... I wanted something other-worldly and I got that.

Cute little guys. First birthdays are always such a delight (and a mess).

These two look so cute and what a great idea to take the clothes off before they got stuck into the cake. Lovely work on the presentation to give a different look.

Excellent party shot and postwork. Something that won't embarrass them when they're older. Somebody's captivated their attention. Looks like they aren't even aware grampa's taking their picture.
