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:-)

From gaping maw to flowers - what a transition! This has me a bit confused - are the flowers only outside, or are they inside, too (to create a double take or confusion?). Whichever, this is a cool photo! :-)

Super reflection, Bill! I can see why you couldn't pass it up! Actually, I think you need to airbrush this on your car.... Distinctive! LOL!

Stellar colors and contrast really enabled and enhanced the capture of this terrific image, Bill. And I didn't know you drove a Hyundai.

Blimey! they've sprouted since you got home...love rhododendrons, quite a lot round the cottage we're going to, though they are slowly being removed as they are not native to Wales and have taken over the countryside in the past 100yrs.
