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:-)

Jocko is right..all those scantily clad lassies are hiding in the shrubbery just waving these about.

I'm thinking kinda "shaggy dog-ish". Maybe spacey, as in outer-spacey. Neat flowers, Bill.

Beautiful capture!!!

Beautiful. They look like pom poms all ready for the cheer leading girls at a football match.

I agree with Jock500, they do look like cheerleader's pom poms. Let's hear it for the team! Also kind of reminds me of the material of the long boas that the old time strip teasers used to wear. Anyway, sharp clarity and muted lighting effects in this fine capture, Bill. They contrast well against the dark background.

Dr. Seuss for sure! LOL! These are such pretty, fluffy little things, aren't they? Full view has such great detail! Excellent work.
