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:-)

What a co-inky-dink. Our old town has a B.F. Hastings Building built in 1853. It was bank originally but later was the site of the California Supreme Court. This is very well done and I find your postwork a great way to highlight this beautiful old building. Very nicely done.

Lovely bit of old architecture Bill. It's a slight pity the modern cars are in the scene.

great choice of selective coloring here Bill. It helps tell the story here! Well done.

Oh, yikes! What a JOB! Have you taken a color photo and selectively converted most to black/white, or have you made it black/white and selectively done the coloration? Either way, amazing detail work! Particularily separating the trees/leaces from the building. The combination black/white and color really makes the building jump at the viewer. This is amazing work! Keep it up! :-)

AW! what a super result you got here of your work. Well done :)

Fantastic shot & use of selective coloring. A couple of our best friends lived in Port Townsend until a few weeks ago, when they moved to Eugene, Oregon. I always liked the town, though they found the weather there kind of gloomy most of the year - not much sunshine...
