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:-)

Gee, I must be spoiled by our golden coloured sands on the nearby beaches... I wonder if this is this the result of old volcanic activity ? never-the-less an interesting panorama, looking forward to some camping site pix... BB

Fantastic capture! love the look of that beach!

Such an incredible beach. The slope is perfect, it's sandy and smooth, and the tide was out. What more could one hope for? Great shot!

Beautiful shot!!

This is quite marvelous and yeah, it's a zoomer! I really like the way I was pulled in all the way to those houses in the background! WOW! What a place this must be. I love the clarity and the lively sense of color as well as the overall composition. This is quite a nice shot!

Wow! The size of the 'driftwood' washed up could sink a small boat - logs! Great view with the clouds, Clive

Cool capture of the beachfront property, sand and shoreline, Bill. Doesn't look like any Army post I've ever seen or been around, and I was at several.
