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:-)

I love the postwork on this already stunning image! I'm amazed at how orderly that truck yard looks, as well! WOW! I can't vouch for the actual condition of that yard, but I'm sure that ground contamination levels are a bit lower than what I'm accustomed to. The light in this is super. I really like the light and the colors in this, and I have to say that the postwork is top notch.

Love this! Thanks, Bill. The post work makes it look like a painting. I would have thought it was a Stude as well. Very nice work! Thanks for the dedi.

Places like this were the best places to play "Hide and go Seek" when we were kids. Cool postwork!
