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:-)

This mural is a real beauty and I hope it doesn't get vandalised.

Now this is just plain awesome. I know there is always someone who says 'Hurr Durr graffiti etc' (this isn't directed at Jeff's comment!!), but IMHO I couldn't think of a better and more artistic way to brighten up this old shed. Great capture.

Beautiful picture !!

Fabulous!

Yes, this is simply beautiful and I dont mind seeing such things more often. Some walls are boring and could easily be fixed like this was. :)

Fabulous capture of this great art. While there might be brighter scenes that could be painted there, would they reflect the nature of the town and its history

Read it and weep banksy. This is where real art on buildings should always be, some of the crap I saw in London, fair made my blood boil.

Shades of the movie, The Old Man and the Sea, with Spencer Tracy. Fine capture of the mural, Bill. Looks like a storm is a'brewing.

An excellent find and capture and very closely resembles Winslow Homer's "The Fog Warning" hanging in the Museum Of Fine Arts in Boston. He did a lot of his work in the area where I grew up! Not that I was born in time to have met him!

Fantastic mural. Both you and Claude captured it well.
