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:-)

durleybeachbum
Hilarious! She looks a real sulky spoilt bitch! Great to see Orville reincarnated, it does look a brilliant museum. Super pic on both counts!
neiwil
The cause of the worlds 1st plane crash?. Great capture again Bill. Poor girl looks like she'd rather be shopping,or ANYWHERE else. Nice candid camera moment.
Emil-arts
She certainly looks a little uninterested, but i'm guessing you forgave her. A smile wouldn't go amiss. Great capture Bill.
kenmo
Excellent...!!!
cfulton
Orville is very focussed on flying, never mind the distractions! Obviously the 'Wronge' girl, not the 'Wright' one... Cheers, Clive

MrsLubner

LOL @ Andrea!! I couldn't say it better myself! Boy, these Wright borthers do move around!! When I was in the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, they were there... sheepish grin Lovely image Bill with your added bonus and all!!! :)
orig_buggy
lol...tooo funny ...and to think I was always embarrassed to take a pic if someone was standing there....now I know better!
moonrancher
LOL Love the attitude sequence. Right. Excuse me. I'll just stay here. As in, "Excuse me, Coming through!" Superb backdrop, too! Sneak factor? I think so.
sandra46
wonderful capture! ;D)she looks bored to tears, maybe she had been kidnapped by her boyfriend and forced to watch objects of which she couldn't care less.
goodoleboy
How lackadaisical can you get? Pardon me while I yawn. She needs a crash course in correct posture. My experience shows that females with arms crossed at auto and air shows/museums are a definite sign that they couldn't care less about the subject matter. Tons of struts on display in this stellar capture of the Wright Flyer with Orville at the controls.
beachzz
She looks SO bored, but at least you woke her up!!

I can't tell you how many times I've had my camera up to take a picture and people all around me stop in mid stride. Once I put the camera down, activity resumes. It's like taking a picture is more important than whatever they're doing. Shoot ... maybe I was just waiting for them to walk in front of me so I could take a picture of their elbow or something! (LOL!) :P
