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:-)

Excellent photo manipulation work!!

Uh, Bill...looks like you got a bogey at whatever o'clock that thing's approaching from! WOW! WOW! WOW! I love the idea of this and the execution. I really wish I could have flown the Concorde when the fleet still functioned. I'd probably find that there was no leg room, however...and well...after flying a 777 (the engines are wider than the passenger sections of 727s I think it is) I'm a bit spoiled. But anyway, enough of that...what I REALLY want to say is that this is amazing work! Incredibly well done!

Wonder how many people have seen this for real (though not Concorde), and later wished they'd had their camera handy. :) You may be single handedly responsible for many resurrected nightmares....WELL DONE!!
