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:-)

Brilliant capture Bill,I have a 7 year old grandson who is already planning to be a palaeontologist, it,s embarrassing when he reads the names that I cant ever hope to pronounce.

Sorry I will not be in work today.....dinosaurs in Union Station! :) Good to get the young ones used to this sort of thing, by the time Cooper is 30 these things will probably be free roaming.Great capture with an obviously capable pocket camera.

Your handy-dandy pocket camera came thru with flying colors, both figuratively and literally, in this outstanding shot, Bill. Cool textures in this one. It would be even more fun if the Tyrannosaurus Rex came to life, just for an instant, to give the crowd a big adrenaline rush.

Really cool capture Bill!

awesome... the more they find of these animals, the more incredible they seem. Good capture of these animatronic ones.

Would have LOVED to see his (Coopers) when they were in motion.

"Hej, man! Thanks for my portrait. Quite unexpectedly nice of you! Bet you don't know what I'm thinking of (hint - someone yummie and edible)!" - T.Rex. Cool photo. I like those animatronics with sound effects - always gets to someone. Interesting with the "bashed in snout" which you've captured so well in this photo. "Just don't tell any passengers I'm there so they get off a station early. I'm hungry!" - T.Rex. :)

Really neat shot of these big guys, Bill! If this new position at my job ever settles down, maybe I'll have time to get down to Union Station myself ;-P
