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:-)

Ah.... temperate rain forest. Must be a very quiet place with all the moss damping any and all sound. I wonder what it would be like to walk in there in a bathing suit during a rain? Must be a near meditative experience. This photo is like an unbelievable fairy land forest. Beautiful shades of green and yet light coming through the trees. I wonder what kinds of animals live here? Great photo. Keep up the good work! :-)

I am very pleased to say that the rain we have has has now stopped "Touch wood" It is sunny now, and after a hot and exhaustive trip to the shops just now, I think i prefer the rain LOL...Fantastic capture here bud, love how that vegetation droops and adorns the branches.

A green haven to many an insect! Great job with the lighting. Know it's not easy to balance in this terrain!
