Have I ever mentioned that Bill Atkinson’s Photography is one of the most beautiful sites on the web? No fuss. Not a lot of words. No extraneous presentation. Just page after page of remarkably clear thumbnails (he’s good at this computer stuff) that click up into marvelous images.
Indeed. Wonderful images, at least, as far as I can see on this particular monitor.
His plants are great, he does some of the best mineral photos on the web, and he has a real eye for canyon rock formations.
The more I know about a class of objects, the more I appreciate his photographs of them. I suppose it's like that basic test for humorous writing about some subject: the more you know about the subject, the funnier it gets.
The ones from around Half Moon Bay and Carmel filled my eyes with tears and made me acutely homesick. We'll actually be down in CA this weekend, but since we'll be working on the house so it can go up for sale, probably no time for the beach....

I have seveal coffee table books of his work, he is highly entertaining, if a little strange.
The shot of the iris leaves and rowen berries on the lake, he complains about the fish coming up beneath the installation and eating the berries before he's finshed.
And he famously held some of his ice sculptures together by peeing on them.
