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! This is a healthy cat. You can tell by the particular pinkness of the foot pads. I love the colors and particularly that "cat squint" that can only be pulled off by a particularly feline sort of person somewhere in the vicinity of a long and relaxing cat nap. I love the natural pose, and the personality that comes through...needless to say this is another favorite as cats and I go way back! Great work, and welcome back to the Midwest (did you guys get as much snow there as we just got today/yesterday?)

Great eye liner! Looks like it was woken from a cat-nap. Cheers, Clive

Aww she is wonderful! I had a beautiful cat this color back in 1988. A male though, swear he was more dog than cat...He'd go to the door and growl if someone knocked. lol

awwww so cute

It looks almost overheated! Peculiar how growing out of a cats ear is attractive, and yet in humans....

Bailey is a beauty! I love fat ginger cats that just do nothing and lay around all day long!!! Wonderful feline Bill! :)

It's said dogs have owners and cats have servants, the look on the face seems to prove the point, a great capture.

Bailey is such a great kitty! He's so patient when people want to pet him. :P I always think that's a nice trait in a cat, since it's one of the reasons we keep them around! Great shot of one of my favorite critters. All my shots of him are blurry! I'll have to try again now that he's a little older.

Excellent focal and lighting effects in the portrait of Bailey, who is on the cusp of becoming the Cheshire cat.

A great name for a pussycat and he looks very cute and cuddly in this shot.

Nice kitty-cat photo, Bill! She looks sleepy ;-D I usually have the same expression on my face when I wake up, but I'm not nearly as warm and fuzzy LOL!

Hope they get along!

Young Bailey bears a remarkable resemblance to my old friend "Hurry" who passed away about 10 years ago. He was a few months short of 20 years of age...

I guess he's not a wanderer like my bro's cats... I see his paws are fresh and clean... great cat-shot!
