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
Â
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.
Â
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;-)
Â
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.

Wonderful, well done and thank you also to Majik for the translation. This is powerful. I think it's about health care as well as the war of my grandfather's time.

Oooh la la, Mademoiselles from Armentieres, parlez vous. Terrific presentation of the two posters, side by side, Bill! Great that your interpreter, MagikUnicorn, was able to translate this for you.

I can't believe nobody has gone on about the postwork job you did ... everyone thinks they're looking at two posters! Astonishing. You did a fantastic job! It probably would have been quite difficult to duplicate the textured look around the edges, and your choice of how to handle that was well done. You have talent plus, my dear! :)

My Dad had these on the cellar walls when I was a kid. Rosie the riveter and all. Also one of the Titanic. Dirt floor so they were in tough shape by the time that I understood what they represented. Magik did a great job with the translation version. Thanks for sharing both. Dana
