Hot! In Passport

Prada, Marfa
 

This Prada store is located on a desolate strip of U.S. Hwy 90 in a very small west Texas town called Valentine, just outside of Marfa, Texas. I came upon it on a west Texas road trip with a friend. It is set to look as if a tornado had picked up a Prada store and dropped it on this remote strip of highway. I wanted to get a dramatic shot of the store, to emphasis its impressiveness, so I went back at sunset, but the sun was setting behind it so I used the headlights of my truck to light its facade.
