The print version has just been released of the novella book "Absinthe Carousel" by Skip Hunt on Amazon!
To keep the printing cost down, the interior is printed in black and white. The Kindle and Apple Book versions are 100% color.
Also, with a purchase of the printed version, you can get the Kindle version for half price.
"An incredible true story. It was to be a three-country, backpacking adventure of making a giant circle from Portugal, Spain... up into the South of France, back through Spain, and back over to Lisbon. The author set out to make the best of a shoestring budget, get a few nice photos and hopefully a decent story to tell.
What ensued was a nearly unbelievable journey immersed in the rich culture of the region, emotive prose that makes you feel like you're traveling along too, and images that take the reader into mysterious dark corners, ethereal rendezvous, Scottish wizards, an unwitting encounter with dark revolutionaries, and so much...

Messing with sound and motion imaging, etc. Trying to get back to my original love of artistic expression, and NOT concern myself with banal selling/marketing of shower curtains, coffee mugs, duvets, or "battery chargers"
All images, and sound compositions by me. For no other reason than "art". :)
Composed the audio pieces and made all of these videos to go with them in the last month or so...

On the Road Again... In Search of Magic Mexican Mojo :)
MOJO: The time I sent out a newsletter I was about to head off to Bolivia and Peru. That trip ended up being over 2 months long and was incredible. I definitely have to go back. I'd been to Peru before but discovered even more ground to explore there too. But before I do, I've been feeling a need to recapture some of that first magical Mexican mojo I soaked up on my first travel adventure out of the U.S. back in 1990. And, I purchased a budget one-way ticket to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico leaving this coming Monday.
I don't plan on being there very long. It's just the airline ticket was actually less expensive than a bus ride going down that far and it saves me a good 20hrs of travel, give or take. From there, I don't know. Likely a little further South, the hook over toward Mexico City. Not sure though. Will be making it up as I go. The goal once again is to keep it all pretty open to the Universe and hope the...

Bolivia + Peru
Only been back from motorcycle touring in the Southwest for almost a month now, but I'm heading off to Bolivia next! I'll be flying into La Paz and mostly wandering around the country for about 6 weeks, give or take. I couldn't get a cheap return flight from Bolivia using my frequent flyer miles, but I could get a return from Lima, Peru.
I've been telling myself "maybe next year" on Bolivia for about 6 years now. It just never came together, or I couldn't afford it, etc. Still can't afford it, but I'm going anyway. You never know how much time you've got and I simply couldn't wait yet another year. Honestly, I didn't think I was going to get the flights this time either, but I realized there were places in the South of Peru that are on the way from La Paz, Bolivia to Lima, Peru that I didn't see when I was in Peru several years ago. I'll just save the last 10 days or so to make a slow crawl over the Bolivian border from La Paz to Lima, Peru with stops...

GET A SURPRISE POSTCARD FROM 5 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS!
I'm only taking mobile devices and would to have my postal address list before I leave. Climb aboard before the gate closes! :)
Once again bringing back the Vicarious Travel Postcards that I started while traveling in the Midwest a couple years ago. This time, I'm going to take off from Austin toward who knows where. Seriously, I have no idea this time. All I know is that I'm traveling by motorcycle, and the route will be made up on-the-fly and dictated by the winds and weather for the most part. Pure wandering.
As I find interesting places along the trail, I'll create a custom photo postcard, add a couple paragraphs of story somehow related to the image or what was going on in my head around that part of the journey, and then surprise you with a custom postcard 5 times from the places that resonate the most.
The postcards will be post-marked from wherever I send them from along the...

Over the last few weeks, I've been deleting and moving much of my work off of some print-on-demand site galleries like fineartamerica.com & pixels.com (same as the former, just a different site wrapper), redbubble.com, saatchiart.com, etc.
Lots and lots of images still remain on those sites for the time being, but those images that I'm removing, as well as older images I want to catalog for reference, are being placed here on my main site.
I like to have a repository for myself so I have look up where an edited image was shot, what year, etc. They aren't all here yet. Many more to go yet, but this is a start to eventually having everything in one searchable location.
Most that have been removed from the aforementioned web site galleries, are all located in my new "Galeria" page.
For your pleasure, you can view them all HERE

Over the last several years, most of my work has been available via print-on-demand, and on various products. Many of them still are, but I'm reserving some images as Limited Editions and Premium Open Edition. All signed. All inspected by me personally before they go out.
They're only available in the size I've determined for each image, and only on the media I feel best represents my work. For these first offerings, I've chosen a heavy, 308gsm archival water color paper made from 100% cotton. I may offer some others printed on metal, other fine art papers, and possibly acrylic.
I've started these out with a discount on the Premium Open Edition prints, but I've also generated a 20% discount code good for any order over $200.
The code is good until 06/23/15 07:01pm

After months of careful editing, this unique collection called LithoFusion is finally complete!
Culled down to 32 fine art images in a photo book beautifully printed and perfect bound by MagCloud on state of the art digital printers and high quality paper stock.
"An experiment to see if a subtle cohesion could be achieved by using certain self-imposed parameters and guidelines.
Each composition was based on images from one of 4 trips made in 2011, and each composition's images are unique to a specific location with no cropping, cutting or pasting done at all. All source images were kept framed as they were shot."
Images for this book can also be viewed in the print gallery HERE

After months of careful editing, this collection of images from DC + NYC 2011 is finally complete!
Culled down to 60 fine art images in a photo book beautifully printed and perfect bound by MagCloud on state of the art digital printers and high quality paper stock.
"Took off on a last minute trip to wander around the Washington, D.C. area and then ended up meandering off to N.Y.C. to continue riding the vivid inspiration you can get while traveling. These images were the result.
Something about rambling just tickles the ol' muse and images just seem to appear before you no matter where you go."

Thrilled to announce the second 7 image collection by Skip Hunt now curated on Seven Days In!
What's special about Seven Days in is that they aren't a giant supermarket of images. The collections are small and limited edition. The artist's collections all have a specific theme and story associated with each collection.
In the coming year, there will also be a brick and mortar gallery component for collectors to see the work first hand.
These 7 vertical images were all shot on an iPhone and edited on an iPad during a 2 month journey in Mexico during the Summer 2011.

Just got back from traveling a couple months in Mexico that I blogged HERE and editing photos from this trip HERE and now packing to leave again for D.C. and N.Y.C. for about 3 weeks in total.
I was in D.C. to see one of my images displayed in the Smithsonian Castle last year and really enjoyed touring the galleries and driving around the Virginia countryside near my sister's place in Hamilton, VA. I just felt a bit rushed I guess.
This time, the stars aligned and although I really can't afford it... I'm going anyway. Haven't been to...

JUST PULLED THE TRIGGER!
Well, now the deed is done. No more apprehension and playin' it safe. Really can't afford it, but I've purchased a ticket for next Saturday to the furthest airport from Austin in Mexico, ie. Cancun. That's not really my destination, but I'll likely stay in a cheap hotel near the bus station and at least take the ferry over to Isla Mujeres for a day. After that, might go to Merida. Though, I have absolutely no plan at all. Just making it up on the fly.
Have decided to go light this time as well. Only taking an iPhone 4 for shooting & editing and a small Olympus XZ-1 compact camera for better resolution stuff.
Haven't been in the Yucatan or the Southernmost portion of Mexico since before digital cameras, so I'm really excited to photograph areas I haven't seen in nearly 20 years! I've also learned a good deal more now and at least have a working knowledge of Mayan culture and am traveling lighter these days.

Hello,
Since I last sent out a posting, I've been traveling in Mexico and blogging it HERE with journal entries, audio, photos etc. It was a great trip but I caught a flu bug on the bus back so the postings aren't quite caught up yet.
See the link for more info, on that trip, but the main reason for this email it to let everyone know about a promotion I'm doing for the next few days. I'm offering 10 prints only of my most transcendent images "Ganga Dream" in a nice size on canvas. This is a timed special deal so grab one quick if the image tickles your fancy!

I've started something new. Every now and then I'm going to publish a new issue of a magazine/photobook that I'm calling "Skip Hunt 20/20". These are perfect bound, beautifully printed via HP's Indigo presses on great paper stock... 20 pages with 20 photographs only. (20/20) Play on vision and the actual number of pages/photos. :-)
They may be a segment of a journey or they may be a collection from a past trip. Or, they may just be a collection of favorite images I'd like to display together.
These will be ongoing and I will make $2.50 for each one purchased that will go to help fuel and finance my next adventure!

Leaving on my motorcycle and headed West. Not sure where, but hoping to head out Monday 6/14/10 if the weather is decent. I’m going to try something different. I’m going to utilize social media more as I progress through a pathless motorcycle journey. Taking tips and suggestions along the way, posting images, writing, digital downloads, etc. Some will be for sale and some will be free.
The last time I made it possible to give my PayPal donations and was surprised how many donated. This time I’m going to try and package inexpensive content as digital downloads, short magazines journals, etc. I have no idea if this is going to work out, but I think it’ll be best to keep in all in one place and link back to it as announcements when there’s new content.
I was going to use a more robust site platform for this, but I found the Weebly.com offerings did everything I needed it to do and VERY easily. The only problem is that their content management system relies on Flash so I...

For those of you with a blurb.com book available for sale like me ;-) Skip Hunt Vagabond: MEXICO 2009
I wasn't aware of this because I'm not signed up for the blurb.com newsletter.... but I just got word that blurb has issued discount coupon codes for several countries for $10 off blurb books orders until the end of the year!
A friend sent it to me last night, but I wanted to verify it with blurb before I started mentioning it. It's good for any book over $29.95. I think you can only use it once though. Here's a link to the info HERE
It's good for anybody and everyone's books too!

This show was up at Thunderbird Cafe in a different form. This time the display has changed into more of an "installation" using thin wooden dowels and tiny wooden clothespins.
"For this show I wanted to play around a bit and experiment with abstracts. I was curious whether or not the nature of composed abstract photographic images consisting of mostly color and texture... would still hold up when sliced and dissected into individual pieces.
I found that they did in fact hold up quite well! And in some cases, portions were even stronger than the whole.
The display was something I wanted to play around will as well, so I decided to slice up large abstracts into smaller pieces on a grid. I printed them and clipped them in a wooden grid using long wooden dowels and miniature clothespins and put the entire piece back together like an assortment of butterfly pieces making up a larger butterfly."

In 2009 from June to August, Skip Hunt traveled in Mexico on a motorcycle and blogged it all from the road.
PREVIEW & ORDERING HERE
The journey began in the sacred desert region known as Huiricuta, to major cities, strange villages that induced strange deja-vu, mountains, jungle, peyote/mushroom rituals, coastline, and amazing winding roads all throughout the Sierra Madres.
These are the images & excerpts of travel musings made on this journey.
Disfruta!
"Skip Hunt, born on the wind-swept plains of Oklahoma, is a professional photographer in Austin, Texas. He picked up a 35mm camera in the mid-1970s and has never stopped sharing his unique vision via photographic images. Many moons ago, he was bitten hard by the wanderlust beast and has been canvassing the globe ever since. Visionary artists such as Pete Turner, David Lynch, Cindy Sherman, and André Kertész set Skip's sight on a...

Hey everybody!
I'm happy to announce that I have a confirmed date and time for my next opening on Saturday, July 19th from 7-9pm. The work is already on display at Cafe Medici (11th and West Lynn) and will be until August 24th. But please come by for the opening. It's going to be even better than the last one with much easier parking, etc. There will be wine, snacks, etc. for the event and I've already confirmed a live didgeridoo player. Maybe two!
For those who attended my last showing... I reprinted a few as giclee' (different print process that yields a nice velvety look as opposed to the metallic prints I did last time)... and I printed mostly new images as well.
If you're in Austin, Texas on July 19th, please try to make it by Cafe Medici for the show. It should be great fun! And make sure you tell all your friends. :-)
I'd like to get a rough head count of who might be able to show up so that I know how much vino to get. So, please RSVP...

Exhibition March 1st through March 31st: Unique Perspectives of Skip Hunt (Photography) Opening March 7th, 7pm-9pm.
"Each Skip Hunt photograph is the synthesis of a life experienced, it is not just the reporter’s curiosity – that often dominates in photography today, linked to an event or a precise narration – but the willingness to walk next to the subjects of the photos through their worlds and let us live the feelings he absorbs and perceives."
Drogos do Brazil will be displaying the work of Skip Hunt throughout the month of March.
Please RSVP for opening by emailing Stefanie G. Ball at stef@skiphuntphotography.info
