Dr. Marcus Lorenzo Penn is a native Bay Area physician by training, but a photographer by passion. He has trav­eled throughout the world-visiting six of the seven continents-gathering photos of his experiences. Medically, he trained to diagnose and treat through medication. Artistically, he evolved to share and discover through photography. His work aims to reveal the natural, elemental, environmental, social and cultural intricacies of the sometimes unseen, so that clarity and wisdom can be gained. His photos are featured in the exhibition, "Visions of Ghana", at the FLOAT Gallery of Oakland through October 30, at 1091 Calcot Place #116, Oakland, CA, 510-535-1702 Directions: http://thefloatcenter.com/location.html Visit http://www.thephotographerphysician.com
