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:-)

Looks like he's thinking about jumping. A great shot, these kinds of markets are fascinating places and the food tastes SOOOOOO much better. Well done.

EXCELLENT SHOT!!!!!!
Erestorfan
MMM!!! Nice assortment of fish. But wow...it certainly is a LOT more expensive out there than here in NH!! Well, I've never been greeted by a monkfish, but I've eaten some and it tastes a lot like Maine lobster! Nice looking fish market! Plenty of ice to keep things really fresh.
beachzz
I think that monkfish is an imposter, I don't him wearing a brown wool robe or sandals. Maybe he's a different order!! Great shot---I wandered thru here when I was in Seattle last year--it's a great place!!
MrsRatbag
Someone should scribble underneath the greeting "Eat more chicken!" LOL! Did you watch the guys tossing fish over people's heads? That's a great show...quick thinking and funny repartee!
durleybeachbum
Very interesting! We've lost our local fishmongers, but there is a iced slab of fish in the supermarket.
Foto-Arte
Who knew Monk fish could write! Great work!
Emil-arts
Can't say I have but what a delicious selection. How about a comparison in 71 prices Bill.
goodoleboy
Yes, say hello to the expensive fish. They look like they're under a ton of snow. Other than the prices, I never see that in my local supermarkets. In any case, nice capture of the various sea life and hand printed signs, Bill.
RodS
Wow - this is too cool, Bill! Great shot, love the signs. I'll pass on the monkfish and octopus, but I'm all over the trout, tilapia, and mackerel. Tilapia on the grill is awesome!
kbrog
Something smells fishy with this! ;D That's the same fish since 1971. Excellent capture! I'm so glad we only capture images and moods. LOL!
Richardphotos
looks like the monk fish has plans to escape.I can smell them as your capture speaks loudly!good shot
watapki66
Wonderful looking display, great capture!

Seafood is one of my favorites. There's very little of it I won't eat. Baby octopus is probably something I won't eat simply because I'd be too interested in raising pet octopi...they're like woodlice to me...cute! I love the variety of fish here. I also love the vibe of this place; I get the feeling of buzzing human activity, a frenzy of buying and selling, and even a bit of haggling. Well...maybe not haggling, but I can dream. This is amazing. I like it immensely.
