The FallstownFUSE: One Year in Photos
Some of our favorite moments from our first year
On May 9th, 2023, we photographed our first musical act in Wichita Falls — the James Cook Band — on a beautiful evening, live at Bud Daniel Park. Since then, it has been a whirlwind of photographing performers all over North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Here are a few of our favorite photos from the past year.
