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:-)

I love the quilt, something I haven't the patience to do! I should hate to fall into the bottom one! An exciting progression.

Oh Bill this is amazing and the eyes make all sorts of differences in it. Sometimes some squares stand out and then they seem to sink back into the artwork, really fabulous how many different filters there are and how interesting it all is. hugs Jane xx

To cool...wow. What a neat one Bill!! My mom brought down a quilt she found in her closet the other day...I had made it back in 1982, just after I had got the old singer sewing machine from my grandmother. Was cool to see its still in tact, but FAR from as beautifully done as this one. In either image here even. :-)

I love the effect in the second pic. It makes a great abstract. Isn't it fun to press those buttons.

Great graduated collage, Bill! I zoomed in with my 24" monitor and got a full taste of the vast myriad of patterns, including the spider webs and flags. I see you digifiddled the patterns out of it in the bottom concept. Now that extrusion is the latest fad, I'm going to start using that filter again, that is, if I can find a proper photo to do it on. It seems Andrea starts all kinds of fads, e.g., Serendipity and taillights.

I can't stop looking at that quilt. :) That is a fun filter. I could see where that could give endless hours of playing. I'll have to try it. Thanks.

beautiful quilt and post work. my sister bought a very expensive machine especially for quilts(according to my brother-in-law). even with it I can appreciate the time needed to sew after doing all the cutting

This is different and very colourful Bill, excellent work on this, well done!

What a wonderful concept!! It's most cool when you scroll down super fast, this is a wonderful quilt, fantastic patterns, designs and mini scenes within a larger, and most lovely one! Great colours and creativity!

Very interesting postwork. I like the quilt. It reminds me of the ones my grandmother and I used to sew. Wow I haven't done that for over 30 years. I should pull out the machine. I have the squares........ Ok maybe after Christmas and things settle down.
