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:-)

I agree, you two make the most wonderful, complimentary photographic duo. This is an interesting perspective of what was above.

WXCELLENT REFLECTIONS

Excellent capture, Bill! I've always found it amazing how two (or more) photographers can explore the same location at the same time, and come away with so many different interpretations. You and Tara are a shining example of this - what a team you two make!

Nice work! The reflections are great - you two make a good team, but you already know that.

wonderful photo!!

Wonderful brilliant blue. The ripples give this an otherworldly feel, like looking into another dimension. Stellar work.

Very nice. No view of the upper surface, only the reflection of the lower surface. Leaves a lot to the imagination - what is it? What does it look like from above? The waves make for a more interesting view. It looks like a pier, but, with such a narrow walk way? Now, that raises more questions! Kepp up the good work, Bill. And my regards to Tara! :-)
