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:-)

Thank you, honey! I love what you did with this. He seems to be in motion, which is mostly due to the angle of your shot, and the way you worked the picture. Fine work!
Carved on the wall behind him:
"They who seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers call this a new order. It is not new, and it is not order." -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
And around the corner:
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much' it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
As you say ... one of my favorite presidents.

Nice dedi to Tara! On seeing the thumb nail I first thought Richard Wagner! But reading the text I saw it was a person with such opposite stand from Wagner as he could get. Interesting FDR sculpture. From this angle and the cloak, a very 19th century figure! I really enjoy this photo. Keep up the good work! :-)

A great photo of a great man. Thankyou Tara for the text.

This is a great picture and a wonderful present for the wife. I remember the debate over this. Some wanted him standing while others thought having him in a wheelchair would send a message about disabled people. This is the first time I've seen the finished product. Happy birthday, Tara!

I agree about the government not being for the people, but against instead. no matter the political group they have the same agenda of cushioning their pockets.
