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:-)

Hey man, I like it. Wish you were here to see it today. Flowers and dogwoods are blooming. Julia is now in the second year of construction of her "little" 30,000+ sq foot cabin on the lake. Perhaps she will invite us in for tea when you are here in August. :-))

Beautiful!

A great place to take a boat trip. Their gardener knew that there is a lake view to consider and put the reddish bushes to contrast with the rest.

My whole house would fit in one of its rooms!! My son and a friend took me around Donner Lake (about 15 miles from Lake Tahoe) a couple of years ago. I saw the same kinds of places. I also saw little shacks, well loved--and those are the ones I'm always drawn to. Beautiful shot!

Wow, what a setting...I don't need anything quite that grand, but it's nice to dream! Beautiful shot!

Beautiful lake house and wonderful color and clarity in this image, Bill! Wouldn't want to pay the property taxes on this place! Tell Panny and Skipper that I thought it was their cabin. :)
bentchick
Beautiful!!!! My all time favorite dream come true would be to live on a lake.... doesn't have to be a huge home, just a small cabin on a lake would be just fine... but if someone were to give me a big home like these... let's just say I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth!!! LOL :P

Envy pools deep. Then evaporates as the thought of bills hits home, as you suggested.
goodoleboy
Some people really have it knocked. Then again, as you said, think of the upkeep! I could go on and on about the beauty of what you've shown here, but don't have the time. Anyway, magnificent colors in this super stellar capture of a glorious part of Georgia.
auntietk
Oh yeah ... they're everywhere up here! Waterfront property is such a dream, isn't it? Beautiful!
npauling
Wow... what a wonderful setting to live in and it really is a super pad. A beautiful capture.
debbielove
Just a stunning place to live! Very nice indeed! A super capture, must have been a lovely trip across (or round) the lake! Very calming indeed..... Well done, Bill. Rob.

Nice shot Bill, love the colours here.

they are either very wealthy or has very good credit.actually both since people with the most money tends to get the best loans. I would imagine that the foundation is always a concern being on a shore excellent landscape Bill

A beautiful lake home, but I sure wouldn't want to pay for the heating and cooling of this place or the upkeep. I'll stay in my little dump.
moonrancher
Oh, what a beautiful place to cool off in August with great friends! The house is wonderful, too. I'd consider settling for just the boathouse. LOL.

Great capture, even better in zoom Bill. I think if you can afford something like this you probably can afford some (illegal?) domestic help. Makes me think of vacation.
MagikUnicorn
Really GORGEOUS SHOT!!! (((((FAV)))))
blinkings
Now why cant I get my place to look like that!
mermaid
