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:-)

Looks like someone is putting in some extra hours Great capture and interesting contrast

This is even worse. One can see everything inside and much clearer as in daytime. Only the workers is missing. Superb capture Bill. God Bless.

I love this series Bill! Nice to see the folks finally went home...:)

Great shot! Sometimes you do have to go back and reshoot to get rid of the reflections.

I see they make sure to make a maximum contribution to global warming!
awjay
what ever happened to turn the lights out

Couple guys working the evening shift--not waste basket empty-ers either.

No-one has gone home! the missing people were just reflection's of worker's from other building's... Interesting how there appear's to be one person working on each floor and at alternate positions on the floor plan?

Intersting itterative pattern in furnishings, etc. from floor to floor. Without the reflections this is still a very interesting image. With the itterations, it becomes a game of "find the differences". Intersting to see the differences between what's on the desks down the center of the photo. There are a few still at work, but... what about saving electricity? Interesting to try to interpret what's seen in the reflections below the windows. Now we can see through the windows of the reflected buildings. Thanks for this follow up on your previous image. It adds a lot to the previous image. Keep up the good work! :-)

The layout of each room looks almost identical.

Still a few at their desks - hope their long hours pay off. Nice series.

Wonderful capture Bill!!! Two things of note,there is still people working, and the floors are all decorated and furnished the same. I would go crazy in that setting.

REALLY COOL SHOT

Oh, outstanding lighting and crisp and sharp, in this fabulous deluxe squares and boxes evening foto, Bill.
morningglory
Really super clear now. Impressive building.

A fascinating interior shot, Bill! That red of the partitions really grabs the eye and draws it right into the detailed interior. That guy in the lower left..... the one with two monitors.... He looks like he's working, but he's actually reading the last few TNA pages.. I just know he is.... :-D
flavia49
great shot

OMG! All the workers have disappeared. Nice Photo.

Terrific image! It's amazing to see the same floor plan done over and over again, but of course those three guys who are left all think they're alone. They don't have the same long view you do. One floor is bad enough, but really ... from that point of view in the maze, you don't know there's more than your own little corner. Still ... I wouldn't want to work for a huge company like that. What am I saying? I don't want to work for ANYbody! LOL!
jocko500
no one there now. cool look like pop art
whaleman
Nice to see the 'later' shot Bill!
angora
one could get lost there easily, if accidently on the wrong floor ;-) agree with Andrea, but really like this pic!!!
Juliette.Gribnau
wonderful !! the e-30 has much more possibilities than my e-410
jendellas
Don't they switch the lights off? They all look the same!!!
Maxidyne
What a difference a few hours make. I'd feel way too exposed working somewhere like this but it's great to see the contrast. Excellent post Bill!
debbielove
And then there were.... none! Reminds me of some Sci-Fi movie.... Spookie... Good shot... Rob

How does it go? Power is in uniformity and not diversity!
MrsRatbag
It reminds me of looking into a doll house; I also would hate to work in such an environment, I much prefer my little one-of-a-kind closetlike lab!

Interesting comparison Bill!

What a contrast compared to the previous one, Bill. My chair is the one at the window! Clive
