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:-)

Does look hideously warm there. Rather like at Flying Legends (I have such a heat haze problem on my pictures!).. Colours on this are lovely, if drowning by the light.. But, I like the look personally! As for the plane.. No! you got me Bill... A new one! Yay! Well done mate.. Not seen one of these before.. Excellent work.. A Fave! Rob

Doing what ... taking pictures of planes? Well, I'm not sure about that. But YOU certainly will be! LOL! (Next year we'll go on the Thursday so I can take bits and pieces shots all day.) :P This was a lovely little plane, and your photo of it is gorgeous. Wonderful color and clarity ... I would know this was your work anywhere!
