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:-)

Wonderful light I have always loved this type of shot.. The seascape or large lake is equally appealing.

another all-of-a-single-vision image, also feeling very intuitive. (I know you may work on such an image a while, but the result is very immediate.) Poetry. And it looks like the window is carrying some reflection from inside the room, because the sky is neatly divided into planes of blue, white & violet. Hard for us to know exactly what those are, but that's the magic of glass. And it works very naturally. Beautiful piece of visual poetry, and at last I got to post the comment I never posted. I'm just here briefly today, but I'll be back for more soon. It's so nice to see how many types of images you do; you shift between styles very naturally. This is a beaut, bill.
