Bill Atkinson - Within the Elements

Also featuring works by Christopher Burkett, Brent McCullough and Abe Ordover; glass art by Dick Ditore and sculpture by Jeffery Laudenslager.

The 4th floor of the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park may be one of the finest venues for photography in the country. The light is beautiful, and there is ample room for people to talk, study the art, and enjoy the experience, even in a very well attended reception such as this was. Hundreds of people attended the first opening of the Ordover Gallery, and were astounded at the quality of the work.

Though some of these panoramas are small, they give you an idea of the size of this remarkable venue.
