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:-)

Great capture - does not look like the groomers shaved her too close.

Looks really sad....maybe its those 3 ID's he's carrying? Is there a story behind all those dogtags? Interesting capture. Aloha

oh I knew it was a Westie, they're the best! And I'm glad to know that dogs too have bad hair days. (In fact did an upload with that very title, with a bunch of scroungy dog drawings, lol...) It's a great shot, pure westie, the ears straight up, perfectly positioned, and that typically alert look they get; and I love the white against all that woody red & brown, and her collar is great! A stylized American flag. Terrific. I'm glad I got to meet Mandy. Terrific shot of her and of her breed. Love it. (my fav's aren't working well, so I can't write words in them...my comment will be my words! Sorry!)
