I've been taking pictures since I got my first Kodak Brownie film camera by sending away cereal box tops. I love shooting and processing digital media, no more smelly chemicals and dark rooms. I do this for fun, because the challenge for me is in learning something new with every set I shoot and process. I shoot Rollerderby as a means to getting some quality time with my wife, and as a creative outlet to compensate for my real world job with a big blue computer company. I also enjoy being outdoors on the water; fishing, kayaking, sailing, and boating.
A little known secret is that I am a torque addictThat's right, a junky for recoil, acceleration, and g forces. Whether it comes from diesel fuel, gunpowder, gasoline, or electrons, I spend way too much of my money on getting my next fix.

Phil Arnold says:
"Bill has become one of the best derby photographers around, and certainly one of my favorites. He has taken some of my best pictures ever on the sidelines. If Bill is at a bout, and has his camera with him, it is worth checking his flickr site 48 hours after the event to check out a pictoral record of that event.
Great going Bill!"9th August, 2007
