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:-)

The premier ballet company in the USA and it was right there...and it still is! This rocks. I especially love the human activity and the powerful legs on display in this shot. There's some really nice reflection business going on just to the left of the sign. THAT is quite exciting for me! The color is fantastic. It's an unexpected shade of gold! Ah...That was such a fun visit! I can still taste Pecan Sandies!!!

Awesome shot Bill, and think of the hours and hardships they undergo just to dance in front of people for a less-than-adequate living!

So wonderful, seeing this "behind the scenes" kind of shot. I love ballet, probably because I never got to do it. Such strong athletes! Really great candid shot!
