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:-)

A really lovely capture of this end of Seattle. Looking forward to see this Railroad Station, when it is done :)

my son spent some time in Seattle and was very impressed, especially by the food and the plethora of good beer, plenty of micro breweries around i believe. I love this shot

That's a really great shot, Bill! I'm so glad to see all these old train stations being restored to their original splendor.

That Seattle? Looks SO different from when I was there in 1978! I was due to start research with a Prof. Everett at the Univ. of Washington, but he died shortly after my visit. Somehow, I just don't recognize this area - must be very rebuilt since my visit! Nice black-white job here. I like the hard contrast - reminds me of photos from the 1050s (Look Magazine, Life Magazine).
