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:-)

I really like the colours here, as we always seem to see them in electric and yellow light. I liked the ones that looked happy!

I always went for the horses rather than the other animals on a carousel....have to admit my dream is to own a carousel horse someday!

I loved riding when I was a kid. The last time a took a turn was on the Smithsonian's merry-go-round about 10 years ago!

Never really had a favorite, but I'll adopt this one! Wonderful shot, Bill! Love all the cheerful colors, and great composition!

Cool colors, lighting effects and overall ambience in this foto, Bill. And, not only do I remember when, I remember way before when. Yes, I enjoyed riding up and down on these colorful steeds, trying to snatch the brass ring as I rode by.
