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:-)

Wonderful Bill excellent work!!

The rose has held all of its beauty and in fact still looks quite fabulous with all the shadowing. A super experiment.

Very nice postwork

Very attractive. I like the results.

I'm sure Miss Sciuto would approve. Negative image....Posative result, still a thing of beauty but with a harder edge.

Very, very cool exercise in image reversal in this superb display, Bill. Love the light/shadow effects. I like variations on the originals myself.

I agree ... something as perfectly formed as this rose will retain its beauty no matter what filters get thrown at it! You've achieved a striking and elegant result. Beautiful!

REALLY AMAZING

Nice one, Bill, and I agree - the perfection of nature's creations comes through regardless of color, or lack thereof. This very much reminds me of the results from shooting with infrared film - without the hassles of working with it. Beautiful, my friend!

Proved that very well Bill!
