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! I'm imagining you lurking in your kitchen window ... the vision makes me smile! :D (Next you'll be building a blind on your deck just to get a few feet closer.) The photographic results of your new hobby are wonderful!

Great shot and detail. Good focal range. When he comes back tell him to watch out for the Cardinal.

Wonderful capture once again and another interesting bird. Looks like he could crack open a hickory nut. Or maybe a beer bottle.

A beautiful capture, they must be loving what you are feeding them. This little lady has lovely markings.

Well isn't she pretty?! No red on her, but quite the striking patterns on her wings and head! How interesting, and thanks for sharing these new birds, Bill!
