Hans Franchesco

Located in Oregon in the USA, I feel very fortunate to live in such a photogenic area. With Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, and the many other areas of natural beauty close by, I could spend all day every day hiking and enjoying this wonderful scenic country. My photography, (which I publish under the name Hans Franchesco), while very enjoyable to me, is just a hobby, although a very expensive one. My goal with these images is to attempt to cover some of the cost related to my hobby, thus easing the burden on the family budget. While I plan on spending many, many, years photographing this area in all seasons and weather conditions, (as each time I go out something is different), I also enjoy trying new ideas and techniques with my photography, so you will find variety within my portfolio.. Thank you for looking at my images. I hope they inspire you to go and enjoy the nature in your own geographical area. Colin Erskine
