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 angle, these look to pack a real punch, and I hope I am never on the receiving end.

Terrific POV, clarity and contrast depicted in this pic of these city killers, Bill, but what happened to the Atlas and Minuteman ICBMs in this array? They were a big deal along with the Titan. Incidentally, I worked on the Atlas silos back in the 1960s.

There's a different kind of bird....neat!

Great angle, and mighty fine shooting. I notice they do not have the normal markings on the side. Cold war is over, or has it just taken on another form?

Awesome, I think scary too.

superlative POV, Bill. They remind me of those cold war movies about missiles almost strarting and the disaster avoided by 1/4 of a hair by the heroes!
