FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Marfa, TX

Taken February 15, 2025

Marfa remains hard to explain. UFO fixated, arty, gritty, upscale, and remote. A classic Texas small town perforated by swanky hotels, restaurants, and boutique shops. Hours from the nearest interstate highway, set in the natural splendor of the Big Bend, but still dusty, decaying, and unironically cool. If you want a unique getaway - a place to sip a martini, buy some art, watch a Javelina wander by, and escape the insanity of the rest of Texas - Marfa is the place for you.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!

Want a print?

For those desperate for some wall decor or simply infatuated with one of my photos, prints are now available for a nominal fee - basically ‘at cost’. Send me an email with your request, and I’ll make it happen.
