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:-)

Wonderful photo. I can't tell whether you, or he, is the sneakier, though. Much redder than ours.

Mine have gotten quite cheeky recently and overturn the bowl within minutes. I love them but am aggravated with them at the moment, lol. Nice shot, Bill.

Great capture of this little robber.

It looks that you're hosting a kind of convention in that backyard of yours! ;D)I suppose that if they were salesmen you'd use the broom on their backs! they should disguise themselves as cute birds and squirrels!BTW EXCELLENT SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superb capture. It looks as though he is posing for you.. lol do you put something in the feed that makes them respond? Excellent work.

The squirrel has positioned itself in a tree just like a sniper in the Pacific theater during WWII and the Vietnam conflict. Terrific closeup of the nefarious and opportunistic little critter, all set to get at any tasty morsel within reach.

Sweet shot Bill; I got to enjoy one of these jumping from tree to tree this morning while out on my deck with book and coffee .. still in my pj's :) I think tomorrow morning, I'll have to remember the camera!

He is so cute and this is a super capture. I'm glad you let him have a bite before you chase him away.

I love this! Not only is it a wonderful photograph, but now you have me imagining squirrels with cameras sneaking around trying to take pictures when nobody is looking. :)
