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:-)

Awesome photo....

Looks like an earth quake is bringing the yellow structure down. I assume the stuff falling down is water from a fountain. Sheesh! How long does it take to get to one's apartment in a high rise like that? And how much does it sway in the wind in "Wind City"? Just the thought of living in a building that tall gives me fear of heights! The view must be fabulous until looking down. Nice photo of it. Interesting how the sky reflects in the glass and the steel panes. What's not in the photo is seen by the reflections. Keep up the good work! :-)

I don't know why but my jaw nearly hit the deck when I saw this one Bill. Been trying to get a better look on google maps but can't seem to get close enough on street view. What an amazing sight the must be to see :)

And I'll just bet those condos are priced very reasonably.... ;-P AT first I thought that water was coming off the top of an adjoining skyscraper! Very cool composition, here, Bill!

I think they need tocall a plumber - there might be a hint of a leak near the roof... Great capture

Sterling POV, clarity, detail, gridwork, and inverted postwork in this capture, Bill. Most impressive of the water dropping from the top of the tower in the front.

What can I say... lol It's modern, but then that's the point isn't it Bill and I have posted Modern as well.. So, as far as it goes as a subject this a great shot.. The 'fountain' is novel.. Good one.. Rob
