http://jans-man.smugmug.com/ Hi! I'm John Atkinson, and I'm "Jan's man". I started out quite young, and ever since, I've been racing through my life at the steady pace of one day per day, just like you. Along the way, I've gathered a lot of friends and experiences. I've been blessed with many friends I truly cherish like family. I'm a computer consultant by profession, and a husband by privilege. I'm also the proudest father you'll ever meet, and the saddest, since our beautiful son, Robert, died on December 4, 2008, after being struck by a car at his college campus in Georgetown, Texas, just two days after his 22nd birthday. To get a sense of Rob's presence, see this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clZYjF3CGgw. Here's a photo/video montage that we produced for his San Diego memorial service: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JGOu47xIG8 I'm a singer and guitarist, a son, a brother, a peace activist, and sometimes, yes, a photographer. Here are some of my photos. I hope you enjoy them. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Thu, 22 Dec 2005 16:53:01 -0800 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:29:18 -0700 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
