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:-)

Super detail Bill!

The textures really jump out in the full size. This is a wonderful shot, Bill. I can almost feel the texture of the wood. Love those tiny red blooms. Great work!

Yes, that's what a Brit or Aussie would exclaim on seeing this: "look at all the blooming moss and lichen, mate!" Stellar clarity and light/shadow effects really bring the equally spaced horizontal striations to full bore in this superb capture, Bill.

Aren't those amazing? I found some on a tree once. Great detail on this excellent shot, Bill!

A beautiful little garden you found here and how wonderful to see these moss flowers. I'm very impressed as I've never spotted these flowers before.

What a wonderful eco-system...moss, lichen, little pretty red things, wood textures, and probably little things I can't even see zoomed in. This is amazing and rich in every way.

Amazingly beautiful little shrooms. I am always fascinated by all the kinds of fungi there are in the world.
