About Me
- Anna Atkins
- Good day to you all! My name is Anna Atkins. I am a British photographer best known for my cyanotypes, or blueprints, of the species of algae in the British Isles. I was the first person of either gender to use cyanotypes to create a long-term scientific study of the natural world. My father was a scientist and I helped him by creating drawings for some of his works such as his translation of Jean-Baptiste-Pierre-Antoine de Monet de Lamarck's Genera of Shells. Well, I must be going, as I have much work to do between housekeeping and my photography. Farewell!

I do admire photographers! Nothing defines realism better then a good, gritty photograph. And i also find your "cyanotype's" very interesting, the way the yellow-green fits in with the sky-blue is quite interesting... albeit an actual photograph of the grass would be.... much more appreciated.
