Franklin FOTO celebrates one year of “community through photography” with anniversary party and gallery opening. An evening of community, photography, and creativity is planned, including live music, and refreshments. We will be opening our doors to the community and all are welcome. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or discovering Franklin FOTO for the first time, come celebrate a year of analog magic and collaborative art.

We will be featuring: Live music by Jeremy Famá, a community slideshow featuring member-submitted photographs, a door prize entry for a free one-month membership, refreshments and community connection, and an opening reception for Tracks of a Traveler, a solo exhibition by Jim Wrathall.

Gallery Opening: Tracks of a Traveler

Photographer Jim Wrathall presents Tracks of a Traveler, a deeply personal and transportive exhibition that invites viewers to follow the visual traces of a wandering life. Informed by years of creative exploration and shaped by formative experiences in both the military and artistic communities, Wrathall’s work captures the abstract essence of place, memory, and emotional presence. With roots in both technical experimentation and heartfelt observation, this show reflects a lifelong commitment to making magic that lasts. Attendees are invited to meet the artist and experience a body of work that leaves tracks—of time, emotion, and story.
