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:-)

LNewport is one of my favorite towns on the Oregon coast. Of course, the Rogue brewery has a little to do with that, Nice to see you posting

WONDERFUL IMAGE

Now that is a beach! Unlike those narrow strips of imported sand we have in Chicago...yep, we import our sand from...well...sandy places. I love the mood: it's so crisp and spacious and it's the perfect birthday present! The pebbles really add something to this shot as well and I wonder how much they move when the surf comes in and goes back out. I have yet to visit that part of the world, but shots like this are definitely a draw to get out thataway! This is a really refreshing image.
