The man who made me the photographer I am today. This is the first photo I ever took (aged 5); it's no surprise that of all potential subject matter that could have grabbed my attention at that age, I chose him. He passed away in 2006 when I was in my mid-twenties, and what I wouldn’t give some days to take just one more photo of him. Thank you, #Dad, for all the gifts you gave me, including a shared passion for photography ❤️

From Bill Atkinson's Facebook via the Call-A.P.P.L.E. discord: Dear Friends and Family, We regret to write that our beloved husband, father, and stepfather Bill Atkinson passed away on the night of Thursday, June 5th, 2025, due to pancreatic cancer. He was at home in Portola Valley in his bed, surrounded by family. We will miss him greatly, and he will be missed by many of you, too. He was a remarkable person, and the world will be forever different because he lived in it. He was fascinated by consciousness, and as he has passed on to a different level of consciousness, we wish him a journey as meaningful as the one it has been to have him in our lives. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, stepson, stepdaughter, two brothers, four sisters, and dog, Poppy.
