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 image I don't think it should be passed by, great study of texture here, and I am profoundly envious of this as a balding man LOL!
Enmos
Great image and idea !! Fantastic work ! :)

:) Neat! I was going to say it looked like dog or cat hair. I like it.

Oh man! I bet that sheds fierce. Nice close-up.
MrsLubner
So good I knew from the texture this was animal and not human.
nikolais
need to see more of her...
fredster66
It does make a great abstract... good job!

Fabulous! I love it, Bill!
CavalierLady
Knew it immediately from the thumb. :) Nice abstract shot, Bill!
moonrancher
Wonderful! She's a cutie, even in abstract.

A nice mop of doggy hair here Bill, your dog looks lovely and clean. I always find shots like this interesting due to the texturing
auntietk
I like the composition. My eye follows the graceful curves, back and around and back again. I'm glad you decided to quit passing this one by!
Meowgli
understated and fitting the title well, nice shot
Fred255
very clean hair a different shot!
bronwyn_lea
I like this. I wondered what it must be and then came to the conclusion in must be your dog. Great shot!
npauling
Great abstract capture with lots of character.
goodoleboy
Superlative blends and effects in this one, Bill! It borders on the creamy. But what is it? A shot of the top of the head of one of the ladies over at the local senior citizen center? Or possibly a dog in dire need of a haircut considering the warmer months ahead.
MrsRatbag
I like the movement of the curls, excellent shot!
Richardphotos

beachzz

Bill! Moment i saw it, I thought Westie! Ha! Just like my Bonnie! Except cleaner! Great close up. Lucky she stayed still! Rob.

I knew instantly this must be your doggie's fur, and it looks really good as an abstract. A very clever creative idea Bill, excellent shot, hugs Jane xx

well everyone who's had a Westie knows that mane a mile away, and you captured it beautifully. You got the swirl, the 'part' down the back, the ears (all covered over), and because you didn't sharpen it, you got softness but also a lot of individual hairs: the fine line good photographers go for. Even when it's not windy, that hair has a windblown look, and under it is one of the kindest breeds on earth. Really nice shot, very soft, and the background hue is perfect for the white. (Makes me miss my old dogs!)
