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! I love the light and the beautiful spring colors. You've captured so much detail in the flower, and your dof is just right. Nicely done! :*

I have no clue as to what this flower actually is, though I suspect it's a purple one, but I love it. The light is fantastic and the color just pops! Nice...very nice! It's almost warm enough for stuff to start blooming here and so I'm curious as to what I'll be finding. Something interesting, I'm sure. Wonderful details, and I love that nice, centered splash of yellow.

Wonderful little flower hiding amongst the giant redwoods. I have no idea what it is, but it should be called Goliath, as it slayed the mighty giant, you chose this through the lens and not the trees :}
