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:-)

One of my favorite birds to watch. I love seeing them walk head down, circling their way down the tree looking for bugs under the bark as well as seeds that may have been hidden. And their colors are so pretty.

Caught in the act! Fine shot of the Nuthatch doing what it does so well, Bill! Little did it know at the time that it would be seen round the world.

Nice shot Bill! I have not had much luck with the safflower seed and I have mostly attracted morning doves which can eat up all the seed in no time. I have had some blue jays and others stop by but the morning doves scatter all the seed before other birds can get there...

Cool! Very different to the Nut hatch we have in the UK ours are more brown/redish.
