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:-)

You've definitely captured how it felt to be there. What a magical place! Those trees really are another world, as if they have their own speed, their own heartbeat. Gorgeous!

This is just amazing, Bill - it truly does have the look of another place and time. I'll bet it looks incredible at night with those lamps on.

Wow! Stunning image.

Oh yes, a deep canopied shot of a walkway, with those southern lace-scarved trees, just protecting and guiding you as you walk. You've captured light dappling it everywhere, and the light at the back of the shot opens it up for us, to open grasses, sky and whatever else is back there. Inviting and protective. And yes, I can totally see why, when you walk into this place, you feel like you've been transported to another world: Isn't it amazing what trees can do, how they turn a place into a totally secluded paradise? Even if they're right off a major road? I love the big arch of that big tree, too, and the shadows beneath it. A loving capture of a beautiful sight, and you know how to use that camera, Bill. Beautiful.

Oh, wow, that has Louisiana written all over it. I should know having done basic training in that State. That said, stellar atmosphere of subtle contrast and lighting in this one, Bill. I like the statue at the lower left.

Oh yes, I do know what you mean; and I would LOVE to see this in the evening, with the lights on and fireflies blinking in the shadows of the trees--that's when it's meant to be seen! Brilliantly lovely!

blinkings
They remind me of the trees in the movie 'The Skeleton Key'.

Heaven? Beautiful photo! I remember being in a park like this when I was 4 years old. Could never figure out where it was. Someone once suggested Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania). It was just SO beautiful. Nice to see a place similar to it! Keep up the beautiful work! :-)

I know exactly what you mean. It doesn't take much of an imagination to picture the old Deep South looking at your pictures. Thanks for these magnificent shots Bill. I have seen more of the old Deep South cruising your site than I have seen driving through this area on several occassions
