Bill Atkinson Photographer

I was pretty impressed when I came across Bill Atkinson's work. He photographs nature with a great eye for beauty and style. Atkinson was actually one of the original members of the Macintosh team at Apple Computer, and he took part in creating a lot of the interface and artistic software. Now, having been part of the development of such technologies, he is able to use the digital technology for his own creative endeavors. Many of his photographs are of rocks and stones, but he also does a lot of site photography in the outdoors, which is just as impressive.

I really appreciate Atkinson's work because of the obvious attention to small detail, which is something that I strive to achieve in my own work. He is able to capture intimate details that they eye may fail to see, and produce a work that appears to have a very abstract quality. His work inspires me, and makes me want to have access to better equipment so that I can attempt to create something as beautiful as his photographs.
