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.

Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Nature darkens the lowest to leave the stronger and finally dominate his reign as. Although sad to see such things but life is made ​​of and stumble. Who have no presence for us. But for the reign of the banal nature, the importance is to define its needs. Sorry I had something to say I hope ​​do not block your values my friend. Congratulations and many thanks for sharing ((5 + +)) La nature assombrit les plus faibles pour y laisser que les plus fort et enfin dominer son reigne comme . Bien triste de voir pareilles choses mais la vie est ainsi faites de trébuches . Qui n'ont aucun sence pour nous .mais que pour le reigne banal de cette Nature, l'importance est de bien définir ses besoins . Excuse j'avais des choses à dire j'espère ne pas obstruer tes valeurs mon ami . Bravo et mille mercis de partager ((5++))

You know - with that title, and seeing this photo, it brings to mind the moon Endor in SW: Return of the Jedi. I just expect to see a patrol of those little teddy-bear guys come into view, and start crossing that fallen tree. An excellent shot, Bill!
