marfa[trip] part two…

A big ‘ole cabin filled with some of the most amazing women I know. Too many dead animals. And stars that feel like you just got swallowed up into the Milky Way.

We’ve added three new key players and taken hold of a new city. Check out the antics here.

It started with an email inviting me to go on a trip with 12 other women. I didn’t know most of them (including the one doing the inviting) but something in the email.. maybe the way it was worded, maybe the chance to get away, maybe just simply the fact that the chosen destination had a name like ‘Marfa’. I knew I couldn’t miss it. I had to go. So a week ago I packed a suitcase and boarded a plane. And then another plane. And then a car. And 13 hours after I started my day I pulled into the Thunderbird parking lot. What followed the next three days was Marfa[trip]. An incredible experience of getting to know 12 other women passionate about living, loving, dreaming & capturing it all with their cameras & hearts. I loved each and every one of them and I can’t wait to see where our adventures take us…

To where you ask? Well, a little town called Marfa, TX and I couldn’t be more excited :) I am going to meet up with 12 other crazy talented women to chill out, inspire & get to know some kindred spirits that share my passion.
