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:-)

'Enter The Dragon' was on TV the night before last...everyone wanted to be Bruce Lee in the 70's, the fighting was amazing but I was always gobsmacked by the one finger push ups! Good to see he is remebered and visited....

sad they did die young. a wonderful image for them

I don't think I have ever seen either one in a movie...but certainly know of them, and agree that it is very sad they died so young. Brandons' headstone is really something.

It was such an experience to be there and see these headstones! There's an aura about the place ... it's become an honored shrine. I love the organic form of Brandon's headstone. Such beautiful, swoopy curves! Excellent images.
