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:-)

Oooh, what I'd like to do, sit and watch the sun set in the water. But I don't see any joining. I don't even see the opposite coast line (I'll have to take your word for it, that this isn't the Pacific!). In the ground to the left - is that a railroad track? Look like an odd place for one! Now to enjoy some more of that view! Have a good time! :-)

a broad quiet vision of repose & gentleness, even in a landscape of what appears to be some forbidding forms. A capture without artifice or efforts at forced monumentality, and therefore monumental in a very gentle way. The hues of your sky, and their peach-like golds reflected upon the ground & water make it appear very serene. A poem to where you've stayed, and a beautiful offering for us. Hope your trip continues to be beautiful...
