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:-)

I love this each capture just as awesome as the next, a awesome work! I tried to decide which shot was my favorite maybe the Indigo Bunting; but then I really like the old man eating his lunch, maybe the sunset HMMMMMMM. Darn I like them all, well done my friend!!

Congratulations on your 400th, my friend! This is a great way to celebrate. I love so many of these shots for such different reasons. Mandy is adorable, of course! I love that staircase, and I remember the turntable! :D You have such a wealth to choose from when doing this sort of thing. Some of your images have made such an impact upon me that I notice they're not here. "Delta Girl" springs immediately to mind, along with your series of bronze statues. I'm looking forward to another 400 and another year!

Beautiful collection! A stunning year of photography wrapped up for easy digestion. 400 uploads?? in a year?? Wow! I think the word "prolific" was coined for this type of situation. Congrats on both milestones.
goodoleboy
Very nicely done! A comprehensive and varied compendium of fine photographs past in celebration of your 400th upload, Bill! I believe congratulations are in order. As for a fun year, not for me, because you have gained viewers while I have lost them; some through attrition, and for the others....who knows?
