Kerrville- Mike Marvins, a fourth generation photographer, has traveled Big Bend by backpack, car and horseback for more than 20 years. He lives in Houston and is a part-time resident of the Texas Hill Country. Mike has captured the grandeur, remoteness, rich history, and dramatic ecological diversity of Big Bend which has caused it to take on an almost mythological status for travelers.
Officially founded in 1944, the Big Bend National Park had never been captured in its entirety. Mike Marvin has captured the entire region, including the Big Bend Ranch State Park, the territory between the historic towns like Alpine, Marfa, Terlingua and Marathon, and the vastness between the Pecos and the Rio Grande.
