Michelle Marie

Just Gettin’ My Steps In

A simple mantra how Michelle Marie captures the unguarded, intimate rhythms of downtown El Paso. 

For over a decade, she has wandered the streets with a camera in hand, collecting fleeting gestures and glances. Her work quietly celebrates the city’s people and culture, transforming everyday life into a living portrait of her home.

We chose the image for the featured banner, honestly because it made us smile. Flamboyant cowboy boots and a pink fly swatter. A tiny, unexpected moment full of character. It’s exactly the kind of detail Michelle notices on the streets of her hometown, and why her work always feels alive and human. Read a recent in-depth interview with Michelle here.
