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:-)

You have really captured the power of the sea well here Bill, and I like the reference to the gulls as it helps show the rock's massive size.

Majestic! I miss the ocean. Just 4 weeks to my holiday! Wonderful image Bill!

I can feel the stiff breeze, hear the crashing of the waves and the cry of an occasional sea gull. And, what most don't realize, the central rock is even visible under the surface a good ways! That's not only shadow! I think I'll forego swimming this time. Such a beautiful photo. Ever think of going professional, or selling? Thanks for comment on my "steam" shovel "Mom"! She was at it with her little ones today, too! :-)

OMG, shades of Wuthering Heights in this awesome acrophobic capture, Bill. I see the tiny gulls, but where is Heathcliff? That said, terrific contrast of the crashing waves and froth against the dark ocean and awesome rocks.
