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 is a terrific image. The composition and subject matter remind me of something Mark might have painted but without the psychedelic treatment. Happy birthday, Mark. I hope you are feeling well.

How lovely! I particularly like the little yellow tips on each spike. It’s even more festive than certain hairstyles of our acquaintance! 😎
Happy Birthday to Mark!

Full size this bursts---the red flower is like a fireworks (as a few people have alluded) (w/out the 'psychedelic treatment' ((mark wysiwig))), and it bursts in front of those beautiful thick leaves, like they're succulents, even though I don't think they are...A beautiful intimate burst, and thank you so much for giving this for my bday. I'm sorry I couldn't comment on it sooner, but I saw it as soon as you put it up, and I greatly appreciate it, Bill. Many thanks to you.
