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:-)

Really lovely, that low light helps significantly with the white blowout thing, doesn't it? Have a safe trip, and hope you don't run into too much weather on the way. ROAD TRIP!!!

Really pretty, sitting on back deck of cabin enjoying the view, and the art but hard to type in the candle light and light from computer. Have a great trip and good luck with the sale or getting a decent renter that can be a challenge some times.

Stellar contrast, composition, lighting and textural effects in this cool macro, Bill. And the best of luck on your two way odyssey across the continent. That is some drive, and not exactly easy on the posterior. I don't think I could tackle it at my age. I would get rigor mortis halfway through the trip. Oh yes, don't forget your camera.
