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:-)

Perfect banking angle for a fantastic photograph! It's lovely to see the whole plane in such a gorgeous sky. It will be nice to have summer weather again and hear this beauty flying over the house every Saturday afternoon!

This is brilliant Bill. The composition, colours and the star of the show are excellent. I bet your heart rate goes up as soon as you hear that faint rumble in the distance.

do I see..... Actually, I do see a solitary Mustang, with a two-bladed propeller and white stripes, soaring through the air, in this keen kapture, Bill. I believe a salute would be obligatory when this long eagle flies by.
