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:-)

Had to be right on the coast given those flagged trees and the vibrant green vegetation. The front shrubs look like giant "red-stem" mosses.

Excellent work bud, I have not captured a rainbow yet, I did years back on film, but what happened to that? Hmm...Got me thinking where that shot is now, probably amongst the thousands I left at home when I cut out :}

Great rainbow shot, Bill. I haven't had much luck shooting rainbows, though it's been a while since I've seen a good one. It's on my photographic bucket list...

The plantlife seems to have benefitted from all the rain! The capture looks superb with the rainbow in the background!

Fine color blends in this stellar capture of the foreground foliage and background ocean mist, Bill.

Beautiful! It's so tough to get a good shot of a rainbow, and you've done a super job. I love the hillside covered in salmonberries ... what a treat to camp there!
