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:-)

Good shot to show him in his surroundings. Looks like a great trip to the Pacific Northwest.

It looks a really 'cosy' sort of street, with lots of interesting and inviting things to look at. So many cities seem to have sterile shopping centres

Cool jazzman and a very cool spot to visit!

This is vivid and alive and it actually captures a bit of the sultry nature of Jazz as well...good jazz is always textured and layered and a wee bit rough around the edges, and though this picture isn't rough around the edges, there's a kind of intense life to it that's impossible to ignore, like jazz with all sorts of influences and improvisations woven into its structure. I love this image, the way all of the colors seem to play so well together. The composition is top notch and I love the fact that Jazzman and his surroundings are so well matched. I love his expression as well...almost meditative as if he's achieved (and is sharing) spiritual ecstasy.
