Bill Atkinson's Abstract vision |
Bill Atkinson has been exploring the colors and shapes that nature creates
within minerals. "With the help of a diamond saw and flat lap
polisher, I have been revealing and photographing these abstract designs
that, to me, look more like paintings than photographs. I hope others
enjoy them too". Bill is now working on a coffee table art book,
titled "Within The Stone, Nature's
Abstract Rock Art".
Bill's latest work has just gone on display at Cafe
Barrone, in Menlo Park, CA,
next to Kepler's Bookstore at intersection of El Camino Real and Santa
Cruz Ave.

Although all the pictures were taken with medium and large format film
cameras, Bill has used digital technology for the final production.

Footnote.
Bill Atkinson has completed a huge undertaking of making excellent profiles
for the new Epson Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 printers. With these profiles,
the Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 are the first inkjet printers that make fine
art prints just as beautiful as those from the LightJet. The print display
life is about 80 years, and being able to make the prints in his studio
is a real plus. Since all 7600 and 9600 printers are engineered to print
the same within two deltaE, the profiles Bill has painstakingly created
for the 9600 & 7600, will work great for anyone who has one of these
printers.
Bill
has made these premium profiles available as a free gift to the entire
Epson community. They can be downloaded from the Epson support site at

or from his own public file sharing folder at
