Barry Atkins, Jacksonville Florida Member Since May 2007 Artist Statement Barry L. Atkins is an amateur photographer and new freelance writer from Greenville, Mississippi who currently resides in Jacksonville, Florida. Always interested in photography, he began self teaching himself to take better pictures. He's always had an eye for composition and once he learned how to work with light he became what he would call an advanced hobbyist. Now he's ready to show his pictures or as he would say, his “paintings with light”.
