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:-)

Lovely. So much to explore on that stone, too.

WOW! it looks really humid there and I agree with Andrea. That stone must have a world of life, in a closer view :) Super shot, Bill :)

Lovely image. At first I thought the object in the foreground was a scultured shrub, the realized its a moss covered post.. really cool.

I really like the clarity and the lighting of your image Bill! A very interesting subject to come by indeed. Pretty neat how there's moss growth on this (cement?) block! Definitely worth stopping and looking! :) Have a lovely week ahead!

That one stone is like a whole new world to explore! The moss is fabulous and incredibly rich, lush, and detailed. Of course I'm wondering who might live under that stone: lots of crustaceans and centipedes, and sheltering beetle people! And a grub or two. Nice! I love the angle of the light in this shot and the way all of the colors just jump out and dance around! This is superb!
