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:-)

Such a dramatic angle and an exciting compoition! Amazingly different from Tara's and just as wonderful.
pauldeleu
Effective composition.

Nice shot of a historic building. Built in the roaring '20s. Yup! Quite obvious, considering the decorations. Who'd spend money today on friezes so high up few even notice them? The converging and intersecting lines give an idea of height here. Interesting - the green shows in the sunlit part, but vanishes completely in the shadow; high contrast here. I wonder how the grren would have appeared if this were a cloudy (or rainy) day. I wonder who does the windows and polishes the gilding. Keep up the good work! :-)

It's a marvelous creation, this building; I wish there were more like this around. Love the neck-craning POV, showing the heavens up above, and the bottom view of that scrumptious lamp post!

Roaring 20s is right! I can just imagine the tommy guns and gang warfare now. Outstanding POV employed in this magnificent image, Bill. Stellar clarity, sky, lighting effects, even the balls at the lower right, a lamp post I assume.

Well it has lasted a lot longer than a champagne bottle would have. I love the mellow look of it and the lights go so well with it too. An excellent photo from a great POV.

Wonderful perspective!
