Excerpt
November 19th, 2019
The next stop was Coimbra and a few other towns heading North. Lovely, but the usual travel stuff. First, had to find a budget place to stay, then look for some food, then look up in the guide book or maybe ask around on the street what unique things...
Gracias Amigo A Bolivian Adventure
November 19th, 2019
I’d been in Bolivia for a couple of weeks and it was every bit as grand as I’d dreamed. Admittedly, I was very nervous about how I’d handle the high altitude there. Much of what I read about what happens to some people at high altitude was sket...

One of the founders of a new digital art platform called makersplace contacted me about their new site and invited me to take it for a spin. What's interesting about makersplace is that it's blockchain based and it's more focussed on the collecti...

June 24th, 2016
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 P...

Calling this trip Rideabout Summer 2015
July 5th, 2015
Heading out soon. Likely sometime within the next 3 days. I'm leaving on my Honda nc700x motorcycle from Austin, Texas and have no clue where I'm going. Just wandering for about a month I think. No plan or route. No specific destinations I'm tryi...
New Repository Home for Skip Hunt Images
June 26th, 2015
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 an...

She Sells Seashells by the Sea in Isla Mujeres, Mexico
December 3rd, 2014
On paper, it seemed like a good idea. I’d take the ferry over from the port in Cancun, Mexico to Isla Mujeres, start off at one end of the island and spend the whole day just meandering the entire shoreline to the opposite end while while making casu...
Trichromatic Bliss in Merida, Mexico
December 3rd, 2014
Back home in Austin, Texas there was a rare, intense winter storm going on that locals were calling a “Snowpocalypse” and everyone seemed to be freaking out. By sheer luck, I’d just happened to have decided at the last minute to catch a flight to the...
December 3rd, 2014
This one goes way back. I honestly don’t recall for sure, but I’m thinking close to 20 years ago in Mexico City. It reminds me of likely one of the first times I was traveling in a country I wasn’t familiar with… where I didn’t speak the language...
Cochise Head Mountain Apache Arizona Stronghold
December 3rd, 2014
Made this one around 2009 while on a motorcycle journey through the Southwest and ended up stopping at the Pacific before looping back toward Texas. Had seen the Chiricahua Mountains Park on the map and basically decided to camp there because the nam...
Dreams of Kids in Guatape Colombia
December 3rd, 2014
There’s a gem of a little town just outside of Medellin, Colombia called Guatape. I knew nothing of this place at all, but had heard that the area was a favorite leisure area for the famed cocaine drug-kingpin, Pablo Escobar. Not that I’m into famous...
Saint Bernard Enlightenment in Madisonville, Louisiana
December 3rd, 2014
When I made this one, I was on a motorcycle trip in Louisiana. I told a friend that I wanted to explore a little of Northeast, Texas, then wander around Mississippi, and into Louisiana. I told him that my “vision quest” was firmly focussed on loc...
December 3rd, 2014
Made this image a couple of years ago in Colombia. This spot is actually on a fairly long hike outside of Selento in the rich coffee growing region. You ride in the back of a small truck with others like a rustic taxi. They let you off in this other ...
December 3rd, 2014
Ok, this one is definitely one of my personal, all-time favorite memories. And to be honest, the image has more to do with dumb luck than anything else. I was in Porto, Portugal at the time. As some know, I enjoy a little vino sometimes, and ...
The Birds in New Orleans, Louisiana
December 3rd, 2014
This one "The Birds" was actually displayed in the Smithsonian castle in Washington, D.C. for several months and now part of their archives. :) They requested I write something about the image, and this is what I sent them: I was photograph...
Made this one in 2001. It was just after the attacks on the U.S. and a very strange time to be traveling. The tickets had already been purchased and I’d dreamed of this India trip for years. I was going an there was no way something as insignificant ...
Beating Fear and Pushing Through the Storm While Getting the Photo in Orchard, Nebraska

There's a personal existential crisis this image reminds me of. It was made just this last Summer in Orchard, Nebraska during a particularly intense stretch of day that whipped the land with baseball-size hail and rare gigantic tornados. One that eve...
June 24th, 2011
Heading to Mexico in a couple of days. Not going on the motorcycle this time, but flying to the furthest airport from Austin, and then wandering my way back up North in which way I can. Most likely by bus. I'm excited to be heading back to the Yucata...
One Month in Mexico in Five Minutes
March 12th, 2011
In Jan/Feb of 2011, I traveled in Mexico for a month. Each place I went I made a short stop-motion video clip with an iPhone 4. This video virtually compresses the whole month-long journey down to about 5 minutes. Check out more of Skip's Mexcio ...

Like a swift subway blast of subterranean wind, I was carried around the corner. Into the plaza I wandered and tried to get a grip on what might have happened. After a brief dizzy sensation that I'd blamed on the hot afternoon vapors, it was as if I'...

Ruined, I wait for redemption… Crumbled, holding tight as it had always been… Shattered, to realize as it had been, and can be no more… Seeing the past as the present… Tangible as grasping a mystic reflection. With all your ALL, you only make ripp...
