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.

Beautiful shot Bill and wonderful background. Have you tried taking the color out???

Fantastic picture!!!

And, scrolling this page up and down causes the windows in the two high rises to flicker as though the lights are going on and off - the faster you scroll, the faster the flickering. Quite a cool effect! These buildings I don't recall seeing back in 1989. Must be more recent than that. Cool photo! :-)

Magnificent POV employed to capture this magnificent Las Vegas edifice, Bill. I really like the clarity and myriad of colors, blends, repetition and reflections so beautifully apparent in this image.
