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:-)

Mandy looks so beautiful after a trip to the salon. They have done her beautifully, so many clip the lot off.

What an adorable portrait, Bill!! Mandy is all dressed up for the 4th of July and looks content enough after suffering the grooming, lol. Mine still run and hide when I point the camera their way! Nicely done. :))

Excellence, love the little old glory neckerchief :)

super cute dog! she looks a bit sulky, possibly the dogs' hairdresser didn't do her hairdo as she liked!
debbielove

Oh, great image, Bill. A treasure.
goodoleboy
Hahaha! What a sweet ball of fluff! Cute doesn't even cover it in this poignant portrait of Mandy, apparently giving up the ghost and agreeing to submit to a photograph! She really looks all prepped and primped, and all set to go, especially with that patriotic bandana. Certainly can't mistake which side she's on! Love those forlorn eyes and perked up ears, Bill!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Or did the groomers made her feel that beautiful? Or does she appreciate feeling cooler just that much? Love the collar. Excellent portrait.
