Maybe an oddball, but really a genius! Best of all, he shares his wealth of knowledge and inspiration with the rest of us.
Because of his good profiles, I got my first large-format printer and never looked back. Then he came to a NorCal ASMP meeting and showed his canvas work and talked about the process. That lead to two more larger format printers for me and eventually a commissioned print project of over 600 large finished canvas photos.
He paved the way with his curiosity, inspired me and I ran with it, all without having to start from scratch.
It's great that we have good people like Bill and others who tinker with things and then take great joy in sharing their discoveries!
Such a different path he took from his neurobiology studies and then to Apple with his innovative software (Hypercard) eventually to photography. Following one's nose and not the script.
