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 like fungi. They're so interesting in so many ways: some of them go good on pizza, others will poison you if you eat them, and some actually have the audacity to walk around, as if they really have somewhere important to go...and then they get fuzzy! Fungi are so fun to contemplate, and yeah...slime molds do always seem driven to get somewhere of extreme importance. These particular shrooms look wonderful! Really nice work. Was this one of those cool "on the belly" shots?

I like the title of this beautiful capture and these look like little parasols raised against the rain.

My lawns are packed with these little fellows, but mine are whiter. I've never seen anything like this before, for some reason. Looks like you got down quite low to capture these!

Hey Bill, are you sure there aren't faeries underneath those little umbrellas? A really cool shot of these little shrooms my friend!

The title is what I would expect to see in crossword puzzles. They like to pun it up. Anyway, a fine closeup of the tiny parasols. The surrounding grass emphasizes their small size.
