Bill Atkinson was a member of the original Macintosh team at Apple Computer, where he designed much of the initial Macintosh user interface and wrote the original QuickDraw, MacPaint, and HyperCard software. From childhood, though, he’d been interested in nature photography, and eventually he moved out of software and into photography as a major focus. His nature photography is beautiful across the board, but the willingness of the mind to recognize patterns makes his photography of polished stones particularly compelling.
