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:-)

Amazing shots of this beauty Bill, wow. My dad was a 'drooler' of all those chicks. The cars, not so much...not sure where I got the love for these old classics but I am always thrilled to be able to see one. Thank you for this beautiful post.

Well you have a huge Beach Boys fan here and used to drive my friends crazy as they were on my tape player a lot when I have my Oldsmobile. A really fine Little Deuce Coupe Bill and don't forget John Milners yellow one in American Graffiti :)

Excellent. love these old chopped fords. Great shots bill. Whilst we are remembering these classics, lets not forget the "Eliminator" ZZ top's lead man Billy Gibbons owns one too.

Great collage. One of my neighbors has a Model T Ford, he doesn't drive it that often but probably about once a month I see it pass by my house, and it always makes me smile.

What a little beauty! And great shots!

All four are great shots of this icon Bill.

This was also called the Model B (not to be confused with Ford's B of 1904). A classmate in high school had one(not customized) many, many years ago. They rode smoother than the Model A.

Woot! Nice! I'm glad you posted all four shots. This car looks great from every angle!

My cousin has spent years building 'The California Kid'. It's black with flames along the side and a cut down roof. But I think from memory it is a 34. Great shots and car Bill.

I really like these, Bill. Not too old to dream of having one... Clive

SUPERB CAPTURE

Well, the closest I ever came to having one of these was a plastic model when I was a kid... A great capture of this classic, Bill!
npauling
It was a popular car and I remember seeing all those stars with them. Great captures of this little beauty.

Interesting variety of POVs to capture the elegance of this redesigned old timer, Bill. I posted a collage of this auto, shown in different concepts, sometime back.

Very nice collage Bill and I enjoyed all the comments too! I too wouldn't worry about blurring plates; if it's an invasion of privacy to him then keep it inside. Besides, unless you are a hacker or a cop, you cannot identify anyone by a plate number, at least not here.
