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:-)

Such a lovely shot of a Great Lake, downtown and Grant Park. Makes me miss living eight blocks away because it was always "cooler near the lake" in summer!

Well isn't that lovely?! A view I've never seen before and surprised at how massive Lake Michigan is. A very nice shot, Bill, and I'll bet from what I've heard that you wouldn't want to be taking this shot from the outside deck in winter!

Although I suffer from virtigo, this is a great shot and a wonderful view.Quite taken with the red block, right of center.Headquarters of the U.S Communist party??. :) View From the 99th Floor ~ East, would seem to suggest there could be some other compass points coming, so I'd better lie down til my head stops spinning, thanks for sharing another TOP image.
