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:-)

Bravo Bill methinks that old boy would give modern tanks a run for their money they sure could build tanks!

LOL ! If Paul Allen can get this to fly, he's more of a genius than I gave him credit for. Although, I'll bet with a bit more 'fiddling', you could probably give it wings :)

superlative collage, superb work!
babuci
lol...fun collage. Like the flowers.

This turned out great! I actually thought the tank was pretty boring in person ... amazingly enough, I have NO shots of it! The guy peeking out of the tank is pretty cute, though. :D The flower power version is cool too! This is a nice way to get us non-tank folks involved in something you enjoy. Nicely done!
