Photography by Darvin Atkeson:
Darvin Atkeson, Darv to his family and friends, was born and raised in California. It was probably his mother’s attempts to keep him out of her oil paints as a young child that she purchased him his own water based paint set at the age of 4. He was instantly hooked and by 1st grade was winning awards at contests held in the local malls. A change from a large to very small high school forced a change from art classes to photography due to availability. The family outings to the desert and high Sierra provided great material to learn landscape photography and it wasn't long before his images won several awards at the high school.
