At a very early age, Bill Atkinson was given the ?Arizona Highway? magazine. He realized the beauty that surrounds nature?s landscapes. He began to explore many trails through forest and desert terrains to bring out the beauty in nature. As an early developer in the technology of digital printing, he shares his knowledge, experience, and teaches in workshops by bringing a moment in nature to last a lifetime through photography.
He was one of the first team members at Macintosh Apple Computesr for the period of 1978 through 1990. As part of the original team, he created the beginnings of the MacPaint application. He patterned and implemented the beginnings of the software for QuickDraw and HyperCard. Other achievements include the Menu Bar and Fatbits.
After the computer era with Macintosh, he became involved once again in digital photography. He left the technical computer side and crossed over to the professional side of ?image-making.? Atkinson uses the landscape photo and adds computer color and effects to the portrait. He developed some of the technological resources used in the present day in digital printing. He continues to work on the best ways to enhance the digital printing process for color quality of photos.
In addition, he is very particular and detailed in his own unique work as to color quality, shades and clarity of the finished product.
Atkinson became fascinated with the smaller landscape beauty of nature concealed in rocks. Through his creativity, he has taken these rock images and transformed them to be seen as a painting instead of a photograph. These photographs can be viewed in his book ?Within the Stone.?
