Welcome to my photography website. My name is Francisco Montes, I was born in Havana, Cuba and I have lived in Spain and in the United States of America. I currently live in a suburb of Chicago with my wife Barbara. I am a graphic designer and although I am officially retired I continue to work with some clients.
Photography has been my hobby for several years now and I occasionally use the photography I do as part of my graphic design work. I like to take pictures of my surroundings, but my preference is nature photography because in it I can contemplate the greatness of God and his great creation. God created a beautiful place for us to live. Photography makes me study, look and think more about God's awesome power while enjoying the outdoors.
Reading God's Word every day feeds my soul and makes me truly alive. Without the Bible I would be lost in the world. It is only by faith in the work of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord, that I have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
I am humbled and amazed by the wonder of creation and the power of God's Word. I hope you will experience the grace of God's light in your life.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my galleries.
