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:-)

Good news! So nice of the Queen to add her wishes for a swift recovery. A beautiful scene and dedication. The butterfly is a nice touch.

(Wunderbar, Herr Luftfahrzeugführer ((Flugkapitän, Flieger))...und Herr Forscher, oder Wissenschaftler...I hope my Deutsch is close! After seeing Rod's upload, I decided to try the little Deutsch I still remember, as you lived in Deutschland and knew the language well...ja? Does my Deutsch make you sehr krank???)
What a wonderful image for Mike! And a wish to go with it. I love the light on that glorious tree, and Zlata fits right in. (I love that you took it from Mike's work, too.) Great image, filled with lush life, and great light: Perfect for healing. Mike: Get better soon, and I hope the pain is over with quickly. I too know it can be a real bear (from people I've known who've had it). May Bill's un-found wand be in his hands after all, so you heal quickly! My very best!!! Great dedi, Bill. From this image to Mike's soul.

Miss Zlata is stood by some wonderful trees. Hope Mike gets better very soon.

I’m not surprised to learn that Queen Zlata has access to our beautiful cedar stump! It’s always seemed magical to me, and it’s probably a link to other places and other times. It was nice of her to stop by to talk about her dear friend, FaeMike. With Queen Zlata on his side, I’m sure he will heal quickly.
I add my good wishes to hers (and yours) for an uneventful and speedy recovery!

Dang nab, Bill! There for a moment I thought you'd jumped into Poser! Her Royal Highness looks so natural there - what an excellent composite, buddy! I'm sure Mike will get a kick out of it1 I just hope he doesn't pop anything open when he sees it! LOL
What a great dedication!
