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:-)

Wow, great find, but did you ask to see a driver's license? Well done choosing sepia for your shot. : )

Wonderful old truck. Back then things were made to last for a long time.

What fun!! For some reason my dyslexia led me to expect a pic on the theme of 'Still waters run deep'! "What is she on?" I hear you ask!

Tires are aired-up and it's a "Jimmy." Of course she still runs. Don't know about the loons in the cab, or whether it's still street-legal. Nice pic, Bill

LOL this is so cute! Great shot. They didn't ask directions did they????? I heard there was a clan of scarecrows driving a old pick up truck knocking over liquor stores in Kansas LOL Just kidding.

Still on the road again. Sharp supreme capture of the rusted, greybeard conveyance. The California Highway Patrol and AQMD would have a field day ticketing this old timer, Bill.

The driver looks a bit lost, maybe he is not used to driving a vehicle with no GPS .. lol fun capture.
