Art I Heart: Marfa Photographs by Ken Simpson

When I first met Ken, he was “Kenny,” a quiet 12 year-old skater who believed me when I told him that Rick Dees was my uncle. Fast forward 20 plus years later, and Ken is one of my best friends and an awesome Austin based photographer who is now old enough to know how to filter my bs.

Ken and his wife Courtney (aka, one of my BFFs you’ve read about before) just got back from a trip to Marfa, Texas. Have you guys been there? We’re planning to go to Austin next spring and we’re trying to decide if we’ll visit Marfa then too. I’ll have to do some research.
