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:-)

FANTASTIC!! I love shots like this! Looks like someone was driving fast over a bumpy road. I can almost imagine some kind of alien death ray shooting orange out of its "Gun" thingyhoosit. Love the vivid abstraction here. Great work.

We did a little night shooting in the class I am taking on our field trip last week, and there were a few that got some really creative street scenes like this was a lot of fun to view everyones photos the following week and to see how creative everyone was. Nice work on this. Still got that Olympus camera?

Very nice, used to do a lot of this type of shot on 35mm and pinhole exposures, back in the '80s.... never occurred to me to try it in digital, however...
