Gary Kent, resident artist at LoneTree Pictures, is a scientist, specifically a chemist. He’s also a fine art nature photographer, bringing scientific skills to his art. He has a unique perspective and a very good eye.
Ansel Adams - the famous photographer who helped turn photography into a fine art - said that art should produce in the viewer/listener that special 'internal event' like an earthquake. Art minus this isn't really art. It isn’t worth the trouble for the artist nor the viewer.
