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:-)

Oh, wow! Now I get to see the real plane, not just read about it! Very good camera angle, cathes a lot of the plane, both fuselage and wings, engines. Interesting lighting the museum has on this plane. Thanks for posting this fine photo! :-)

I love the low light. The museum did a fabulous job, didn't they? The way the light plays with the shiny plane and that beautiful polished concrete floor is just gorgeous. Excellent capture!

As a plane novice, I love shiny metallic planes like this. There is very little in this world that looks cooler! I never hear as much about this as the EG. I wonder how this aircraft is viewed today from the Japanese perspective.
