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
Â
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.
Â
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;-)
Â
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:-)

excellent collage Bill. what are you using for the collage

Extreme finesse apparent in this wonderful collage of your hungry visitors, with stellar colors, clarity and lighting to fill the bill, Bill! And yes, what are your methods for a collage? Also, you've got a humungous B-36 coming up? They didn't make very many of those biggies. Went obsolete in no time, possibly due to underpowered engines, if my memory serves me correctly.

Great neighbourhood! Stunning work on the collage, you are lucky indeed. All of my neighbours are fairly drab by comparison. Great captures, Clive

Fantastic collage Bill. I have to learn how to make these too!

the best Bill, kind of a "credits" reel from old movies where they show the faces of the actors. A bird-series retrospective, we get to see the birds again. (If you could've gotten them to sign these—like, "it was great working with you, xox," that would've been great!) I also like that you got 3 of them with food in their mouths, and you gave us the names in each pic. Have you asked them what they think of your plane shots? Being the original planes, they might have some thoughts on the matter...love the idea, love the execution. I was missing your birds...

What a great collage each shot beautifully done; great presentation!!!

Well, well, what a lovely collage, Bill! Very nicely put together without any wasted space! I'm so jealous of your indigo bunting and yellow belly! Send them down my way when you're done with them. All I have is the ordinary regulars right now. Well done, Bill!
