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:-)

Well done bill, I like to see these in the wild shots, rather than at a table of sorts, mind you, that's not to say those shots aren't good they are!

Where angels fear to tread. Ninja sneak factor a whopping 10 in this fine shot, Bill! Lots of angular effects in this one and looks like balls of cotton on top of the dandelion stems.

I tried to breathe extra hard so I could get a whiff of the pollen, so I could sneeze. My sinus are stopped up bad.I mowed my yard this morning

They must feel vibrations or hear things in the ground, because the way they catch worms is like a magic trick! Wonderful capture of your neighbor's yard. (I believe you! I believe you!) :D
