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:-)

That subway is the schnizzle. What a great thing! I like your picture. :)

almost looks like a scene from Daz or Poser! Surrealism at its best as I see it

Don 't know about the schnizzle but I like your picture also. Great perspective showing disappearing lines. And that waffle pattern is pretty wild.

Very futuristic, op-artish ceiling - very cool...

Very nice capture Bill.
I think this will work very well in black and white.

I have been watching a series on TV about our Underground the Tube , it's history and how it runs today.This week it was about how every night a gang of men hand clean under the rails removing all the fluff that could spark a fire at any moment. It is still done by dustpan and brush and hands. We don't think about that when we travel.

Wonder where they are going, great photo.

Washington subway. Nice to see a photo of that which I've heard of so often. And what a photo, at that! The indirect lighting towards the ceiling is great. This photo reminds me of the Triangle train stop underground in Malmö, Sweden. I think I've posted a photo of it several years ago. I'd like to see a train, too! Keep up the good work! :-)

What an interesting structure. It really leads the eye in.

Great shot of the station, Bill! This does have a very futuristic look - I almost expect to see the Girls stepping out a doorway in the distance! :-D
