Welcome to my photo books page. 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.
