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:-)

Fantastic photo.

Well, the tower is impressive, as well as your shot, but it's far from comparing with the real one, or having the feeling that you're in Paris, especially if you've been there and you saw how the things are over there (generally speaking, not you personally!)... Once again, excellent shot, you picked a great angle!

Great capture. I somehow think that this diminutive version of le tour Eiffel would get a bit of leg cramp as it's straddling another building, but what a jumble of architectural styles! Only in Las Vegas! I'm surprised there isn't an Egyptian Sphinx, Roman temple, and Russia's Saint Basil's Cathedral done Elvis style with neon around the onion domes, and and a 1/8 scale replica of the entire island/city of Atlantis, turned into a restaurant/clothing boutique/casino crammed in there somewhere. Oh...I shouldn't have said that, now Las Vegas is gonna start getting ideas! I've never been to Vegas, but I always get the impression that The Strip is a giddy place, full of...well...whatever the Strip would be full of. This is a wonderful, smile-inducing piece of work.
