UPDATED: September 19, 2010
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:-)

The soft pastels of afternoon sky near the 49th parallel - wonderful. Foreground in stark contrast. Good work.

Gorgeous light! I remember that day well ... what a glorious afternoon it was! Not too cold, beautiful sunlight, a helpful docent, and a virtually empty park. Great memories, honey! :*

A beautiful capture for sure....

Beautiful colors, sunset, and I would never have guessed it was once a fort. But, considering that unknown missile launch off the Catalina Islands near Los Angeles, this type of defence might become very needed again, but with anti-missile batteries instead of guns. I certainly hope NOT, though! You lucky two - such a romantic evening you've had. Keep up the good work! :-)

Nice sharp silhouetting of the old fort against the partly cloudy sky, Bill.
