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:-)

Waltzing Matilda. Good but depressing movie starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. Lots of texture in this pretty good macro shot of the decaying log, Bill. I didn't know Tara had a new camera. A Canon PowerShot?

Mother Nature and the sea had their way with this log. Love the textures and patterns. Dana

I love all the textures! This gives me hope ... :)

This is amazing...textures within textures, but unfortunately, not a woodlouse in sight. Oh well...can't win 'em all. I love the details and the interesting shapes and layers (the non photoshop kind) and the colors. This is great. Of course decaying things will always be close to my heart. They're just so much fun to photograph. Oooh, and a new camera too? Even better. I like my workhorse but he needs a companion to lighten his load...this inspires me to go hunting for one in the future. Great work.
