Jesse came out for the Marfa Trip to hang out with us ladies... getting to know her was a true highlight of the trip. Her husband, Whitney, also ventured to Marfa to visit some old friends so Whitney inevitably ended up joining us for a couple of the adventures where I was able to catch the two of them together.

These two are rich souls and deep wells. It is so refreshing to be able to have soulful conversation about what is really important in life. Jesse is one of those beautiful people that reaches past the surface of trivial things and is able to reach a little deeper. Conversation with her was always so rich, and I think that is mostly because she knows how to give people her ears.

whenever we feel like it [millie holloman]

06.27.09

The signs around Marfa like the one below always made me laugh, that's just the way Marfa is. It's the kind of town where everybody knows everybody and they do what they want, when they want. It seems that most people who live in this small town, wound up in Marfa to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. They escaped to a place where they could live like they want and work when they want so that's just what they do!

Area code 206 is in Seattle, not Marfa. How strange

a bittersweet taste [brooke schwab]

06.27.09

if you get 13 girls together, you find out quickly that we never stopped talking and doing. i was honored to see what became of this amazing group of women and realized quickly that it was a "God thing" that we were there. i know for sure that i have made some amazing life long friends. i will miss the late night rendezvous that we took and the deep conversations that took place.

here are some shots from wednesday night. we drove down to the prada marfa store after our dinner. i want a pair of those amazing kicks. good thing there was only one left shoe in the store, it kept me from breaking the glass to go in and get some!

this shot is taken of a large semi truck driving by. you get a tiny piece of the wheel on the right side of the shot.

I didn't realize the Prada store was still there. What highway is this on? I thought it was on the road to Valentine, but I didn't find it. Pleaze pleaze pleaze don't keep this a secret from me.

Shut the Front Door!! [sarah rhoads]

06.26.09

So I cut my Marfa experience a bit short Wednesday to be back to Seattle for a wedding I had Thursday. While I waited for my flight in the DFW airport I was able to edit a couple snaps from the trip.

I can't even begin to express the good times that I had with these beautiful women. It was so refreshing for me and I came back with lots of new friends and great idea's. Sometimes getting away with some lady-friends in the industry is just what you need. I feel totally refreshed. re-energized and ready to take on the world ;)

These girls encouraged the crap out of me. We had lots of soul talks while riding around on banana bikes and good laughs over margarita's and you tube video's! Miss em' already... can't wait for the next adventure!

Isn't the font on this building SICK?!? The typefaces of Marfa were genius.

what marfa means [melanie mauer]

06.26.09

marfa is beautiful yet rugged. we went not knowing exactly what we'd find - and somewhere between second 1 and second 2 we found fast friendship, inspiration and days that will always dance in our minds as a wonderful adventure. is summer a crazy time to pack our bags and spend time together since it's often when we're at our busiest? perhaps, but somehow that made it even more perfect. here we are in the midst of the "busy season" refreshed and enlivened. here's to creative work, to friendship and to marfa. -m-

it's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts. [ j.m. lawrence ]
