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:-)

These are so beautiful and exotic-looking, and I would have a hard time believing that they're hardy enough to grow in nature if I hadn't seen them in the woods myself! Excellent composition and capture!

Beautiful flowers and love this color. I also love the small palm plants next to them. I was given one for a gift one time and I think I managed to kill it quicker than most other plants I kill. Sigh...just do NOT have a green thumb.

Gorgeous myriad of colors, depth, focus, patterns and textures in this cool shot of the Seattle flora, Bill. I wouldn't think that Seattle is the best milieu for palms.

A lovely capture of these beautiful cyclamen. I love them and have a lot of the smaller ones in my garden as they are hardier.
