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:-)

I have yet to try rock-stacking, but I know that I will! This is just one more bit of inspiration! I love the abstract quality the stack gives this image and I especially like the ship out there waiting for the harbor pilot. That made me think of the television show: Babylon-5...you always knew something cool was going to happen whenever the POV shifted to a star-ship captain in communication with B5 traffic control, and hearing the polite, crisp dock-master (usually a woman) saying in a no-nonsense way: "Pleas surrender navigational control to the docking computer.) Whenever I heard that, I knew that a kinda cool special effects sequence was coming up. Does that happen in water-harbors too?
