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
Â
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.
Â
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;-)
Â
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.

It is a ruff world after all. sometimes it's best to shed old ideas and run in the field to chase a butterfly Great capture, but who let the dogs out?
Deadly_Ernest
Great shot. My first thought was that it's a shot of Police Dogs in training, and the training dog is the German Shepard, you can almost hear him thinking, "Damn, trainees, can't even look in the right direction!"

Great capture! They are all handsome hunks. Hams they are, and so are mine. I only have two, though. ;o)

What a GREAT photo, Bill! This really does bring a smile! These guys just look like a bunch of hams, all right. And a quad of handsome looking pooches they are!
