Franklin has a way of capturing hearts. To celebrate our special mountain town, we asked local photographers to explain, in pictures, why people should visit our neck of the Smokies. These artists were challenged to showcase Franklin’s beauty, character and community spirit in just 10 stunning images. Let’s call it a photographic elevator pitch. Today, we kick things off with a breathtaking collection by local photographer Mark Krancer, of Kram Kran Photo, whose keen eye for light and landscape brings the magic of Franklin to life in every frame.
