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:-)

Capital clarity, lighting and textural effects in this capture of something most arcane, Bill. It looks either like the barrel of a cannon jutting out from some thick underbrush, or a very tired big-winged bird stretched out on a log taking catching a few z's. As for Andrea, right out of the blue, she instantly and inexpliably broke off contact with me some weeks ago. Women!

Amazing Shot Bill as soon as I saw it I thought Horse head then saw the stick poking out and thought Unicorn.. can make out the trolls head with part of jaw missing.. excellent capture and a def fav!!

What a delightful craggy old face you found here. Very well spotted. I love the moss.

I see an Airedale dog!

Dogs, unicorns, dragons, trolls ... and here I thought it looked a bit like a mossy Storm Trooper. You know, one of Jeff Vader's men. (You'll need a tray. I do not need a tray, I can kill you with a thought!)
