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:-)

Beautiful morning light giving so many nuances of color to water and on land objects. Unusual housing on stilts, not quite what I'd feel comfortable living in (shake and bake territory... rim of fire...). The water is really interesting. Thanks for posting this! Keep up the good work! :-)

The water! My goodness. It's just perfect, isn't it? I don't think the surface ever gets much better than that. Wonderfully reflective and smooth. The tide must have been just at the turn. Gorgeous!

Well, I don't blame you a bit, Bill! That light is rather delicious, isn't it? A beautiful shot you have here, my good friend! Hope you and Tara have an awesome Christmas and a prosperous 2012!

That water is magical! I love the way it shimmers, shimmies, and shines! The rich, varied shades of blue really draw me into this, and then there are those pilings and pillars and nice repeated shapes. How could you not photograph this!? I like this quite a heckuva lot!
