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:-)

Someone had fun with a 3D package creating that interchange - if CAD packages were around when it was conceived. Great view, Bill! Cheers, Clive

Superlative POV, DOF and textures in this acrophobic shot from atop the Sears Tower, Bill. Looks like some gigantic electronic circuit board stretching out like that.

You should try that in slush hour.....oops I mean rush hour..... no it's more like slush hour. Bumper to bumper, people constantly cutting you off when you are moving. horns blaring, brakes screeching, cus words flying among cars. Mostly coming from ours...oops did I say that. We had to go through there on the way back from Florida. One of Dave's favorite routes.....not. LOL Great shot Bill.

Great capture! I am thinking of the engineers as they plot out all those knots of highways to get everyone off in the direction they want to go.
