Darwin Atkinson was born and raised in California, USA. Since childhood, his mother fenced him to his oil paints, but at the age of 4 years she bought him his first set of paints, though on a water basis. He was completely absorbed in art and already in the first class he won awards at contests held in local centers.
Moving from a large school to a very small one made him move from art class to photography class because of accessibility. Family picnics in the desert and High Sierra provided excellent material, through which he was able to learn more about landscape photography. Then began his new journey into the world of photography, which we will cover in more detail in the next articles.
