Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, and other fields. The color temperature of a light source is determined by comparing its chromaticity with that of an ideal black-body radiator. The temperature (usually measured in kelvins (K)) at which the heated black-body radiator matches the color of the light source is that source's color temperature; for a black body source, it is directly related to Planck's law and Wien's displacement law.

Counterintuitively, higher color temperatures (5000 K or more) are "cool" (green-blue) colors, and lower color temperatures (2700-3000 K) "warm" (yellow-red) colors.

Exquisite color and lighting in these shots. You draw the viewer in to the mood of the scene and place. It feels like I am in the mind of the photographer and the soul of the place. Great talent! Thanks!

There are so many things in the world that I have taken for granted,, little things,, mundane. Since becoming a photographer I view the world through a different window,, or LENS, if you want to get cheesy. My husband and I no longer just drive to our destination. We observe our surroundings,, finding joy, amusement and awe in the simplest of things.
I know that I speak for every one of us gals on this trip when I say that. I am AMAZED that we were all together in the same place but took pictures of completely different things,, in our own styles. Through their images I am able to see what I saw, but through their eyes. I can't wait till our next adventure to be awed and truly inspired by these amazing women!!

what an incredible experience to drop everything in your life and go spend 5 days with 12 strangers. that in itself is appealing. well in reality i wanted 5 full days with each person after realizing who i was spending this time with. i guess after the next twelve years and the next twelve trips i'll feel fulfilled. deal, ladies?
anywho, everyone had left for their flight, their wedding, their family and the few remaining were josh, whitney and kristy behrs. we had two cars so the gents road with the gents and the ladies road with the ladies. it was a 40 minute car ride. the stories, ah man the stories that kristy told me were incredible. i can tell you to go to her blog but i have a feeling i was a little privileged that day to hear the FULL stories. now i can't wait for more. there will always be a part of me that wants to be a nomad, an explorer, an adventurer like you, kristy. thanks for the inspiration.

Yes, it's true. We were the last 6 of all of our compadres' to leave our beloved Marfa. So what did we do? We took extremely unflattering pictures with a fisheye to share with you..........just for you. I'd have to say that Brooke wins. The double fist pump was a sure victory.

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!

John Edgar. :

I think one of the most important things in life, is the ability to share the love that we have, and the gifts we've been given. You are wonderful wonderful women who each have such a unique and fresh outlook on the world. The images and words on this blog and your websites are a testament to the excellence in each of you. I am awe struck and amazed. Please, next time... longer trip, more photos, more words.

I am loving the solitude of Marfa, being away from everyday life and surrounded by these 12 other amazing women is better than I ever imagined it would be! 

On day one Melanie, Davina, & I rented bikes to tour the city of Marfa (which didn't take more than an hour despite our stop on every block) to capture a little character and charm of this lovely little place. Marfa has won my heart for sure!

After we finished up our little ride through the town we headed back to the Thunderbird to catch up with the rest of the girls for a walk around... there isn't much else to do here but visit dairy queen, chat, walk, bike, and take photos.

Some might say that Marfa is the armpit of Texas,, kinda like Blythe is the armpit of California.......not true. On the Marfa part that is... the Blythe thing is totally legit. Anyway,, Marfa is a desert rose: awesome landscapes, charming buildings, and insanely dreamy skies complete with Mario Brothers clouds and lightning storms..........for real.

10. Marfa rhymes with barfa and that alone is reason enough to come to this amazing place!

9. Dairy Queen's concern for adding chocolate pumps to their heath bar blizzard due to diabetics. (P.S. - Another awesome perk is their dance floor)

8. the laundry mat, ice cream and coffee are all in the same building.

7. total banana seat domination

6. Six hours road trips through the desert to get to a dump

5. acupuncture via cactus needles

4. cowboys with mustaches that listen to opera in their 1987 Mercedes benz

3. Marfa's font book is better than your font book. BAM

2. We decided the marfa lights are geriatric men with headlamps

1. MARFA TRIP!!!

Today we went on an off road adventure. We went to the middle of Marfa no where, a five hour long road trip with ghost towns, canyons, roadside cemeteries', border patrol, mexican immigrants, and loose asses (as in donkeys). We decided it would be therapeutic to scream in the middle of a junk yard in the middle of a desert, so we did! P.S. Shannon Sewell is not featured in this video because she is peeing behind a bush.  - Millie & Sarah & Brooke
