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:-)

Well, I'll be... That's the BEST way to decorate old decrepid buildings. A lot of this in San Francisco and some in Europe, but the %x#x graffiti criminals are all too often there shortly afterwards to destroy it. This is a very nice photo - glad you didn't crop the upper part which shows what the rest would have looked like had it not been for a good artist! And you say there are many pictures like this? May be the same artist, or, that people in town want their sad sides brightened.

SUPERB MURALE

Looks a little like scratchboard art in this capital capture of the capital street mural, Bill. In contrast, nothing but unintelligable graffiti garbage graces our walls down here in Southern California.

What a difference this mural makes to this wall, it is a lovely scene.
