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:-)

You can get hooked on doors as a subject, be careful! There was a period when I drew little else. My door is bright yellow, i wonder what that might mean?

Very interesting, super photo.

I love the idea of a red door, but I'm pretty attached to the dark green in Texas and the matching paint job on the trailer! LOL! Another terrific shot from Jones Street. I hope I've got something unique to share from that day, because what you've posted already is marvelous!

Just around the corner There's a rainbow in the sky So let's have another cup o' coffee And let's have another piece o' pie! ~Irving Berlin - Face The Music (1932)
In a funny mood lately.
I see now why Savannah is such a charming city. It surrendered to Sherman without a fight and so avoided being burned to the ground. This is a great shot of a fine old building.

fascinating about the red/black---I never knew that. Beautiful detail, and the iron fence stands out even though it's black against some fairly dark hues (blacks, browns, dark greens). The kind of clarity and separation we expect from you. You capture these old stately facades with real dignity. The pots on the porch are clear too. Very inviting shot, Bill.

Nicely seen Bill.... GREAT COLORS AND COMPOSITION Just curious... why the crop below that fence in front? You were there and not I... just curious... STILL GREAT

Thanks Fred. Glad you asked about the crop cutting off the bottom of the fence in front of the red door. I went back to the original to remind myself why I cropped there. The concrete at the bottom of the post has a very unsightly repair. I did not want it in the photo. But more than that I wanted to be closer to the doors emphasizing the doors...not the iron railing. As an aside, Tara showed me using Photoshop how she would clone out the unsightly repair and that was a great review for me. Glad you asked.
