Exploring Downtown After Dark

Night in Downtown Wichita Falls

There's a certain feel to downtown Wichita Falls after dark. The city is small enough to explore on foot, but cosmopolitan enough to surprise you. In just minutes, you can go from a well-lit sidewalk near Park Central, past a local watering hole where laughter and music pour from within, to a quiet alleyway where crickets sing — at least until they hear the gravel crunch under the foot of an approaching pedestrian. I've spent hours exploring this place with my camera, in the dark hours. Here are a few of the photos from those nocturnal wanderings.

Selected Works

dare to dream in black and white

Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Your senses awaken:

If you take a moment, free from distractions, to just look, and listen, you'll get it. The smell of a pizza baking in an oven... The sound of distant red dirt music... Of laughter that signals a brewing romance.

The History is everywhere

Arrive before a certain hour to experience galleries and museums and dining, amongst historic architecture. Arrive after a certain hour, and make history of your own.
