Synopsis

This podcast will vary from being general musings, to ambient sound captures, to travel reports from the road, to virtual sidekick field photography sessions. Skip Hunt is a wandering, wondering artist who travels, photographs, films and writes about adventure online. Here's a short bio from his fine art print site: http://skip-hunt.artistwebsites.com 'I make images... so that all my moments will not be lost in time like tears in rain.' ~ Skip Hunt 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-1970's 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 Andre Kertesz set Skip's sight on a fine-art horizon early on. His insatiable thirst for rich color and even richer cultural exploration keeps him on the road most of the time. When he's recharging his batteries, he calls Austin, Texas home. Please Enjoy!

  • Veracruz Parroquia

    05/02/2011

    February 3rd. I am still in there cruise Mexico and I'm sitting in a cafe called El gran Parokia(?). I think it's the Grand Parakeith(?) and it's pretty expensive. I'm not sure why. I, I think it's traditional. I think it's been here a long time. Most of the people in here look fairly well healed(?). All the waiters are or I mean the smart like smocks(?) and I'm just having a black cup of coffee and it's more than a large Starbucks. So, I think that you have any idea. You might hear people tinkling(?) their, their glasses cos I think the tradition here is just to have a black like a like an Espresso type of coffee with an then you tap on your glass to have the waiter bring this kettle of warm milk.

  • Veracruz Noche

    03/02/2011

    It's February 2nd and I still on Vera Cruise(?). It looks like I was wrong about the being able to just tack on recording with the resume button. I think we hang to close out if you have to just do it on well just as well. After I finish I try on standing on a a plaza that sort of the main plaza down town so clow(?). There's a tons of Mariachi's and not too many people around but saw Mariachi's(?) looking for somebody to play for. Kinda milling about it's about 11:30 at night and I just came from, I was just walking and walking and walking and windows up in a pretty city part of town I think. There wasn't too many people around but a lot of people living in Backsi(?) in

    02/02/2011

    February 1st 2011. I'm now in Veracruise(?) Mexico. I left Kuatipek(?) yesterday around noon I think and I'm just walking along the Mallicon(?) here enjoying the the waves and the breeze pretty hot it's I think why I'm here man is the ___ I think it's only like maybe 85 degrees Fahrenheit but I think humidity(?)

  • Coatepec Java Jitters

    30/01/2011

    January 29th. It's a Saturday night. About 9:00. I'm in Correct(?) Cowatipec(?) Mexico and I'm walking around in the plaza. There's a bunch of families and children and balloons. Everybody seems to be having a good time. Apparently this is so pretty much every Saturday. It's just that I'm guessing Sunday as well. There's a like a gazebo coffee shop in the middle and people are just kinda strolling around laughing having a good time. Cowatipec(?) is probably about 1200 I believe 1200 meters above sea level and it's known for coffee production. I really like this place. I stop by this place.

  • Magia De Mexico City

    25/01/2011

    January 25th, I am now in Mexico City and I'm walking on Mercado(?). Getting a little bit tense. I'm not sure why. I was taking some photos and some gang looking fellows told me to stop and then a larger one asked me if I was a tourist and I said yeah yeah I'm a tourist. He said ok. You can take pictures. And I was like, alright, thanks and he said I can take you up into some of these buildings. I have key. No, it's ok. I'm good. So anyway I think I wandered into a neighborhood that maybe I shouldn't have been in and I'm walking away from it now. So looking for tacos and I was thinking on the bus

  • Slinking To The Mexican Border

    12/01/2011

    Well I have officially left on my trip to Mexico. It's about 10:30 or so at night and ___ on bus ___ boarder. It should be in the ___ about an hour and a half I think but I think I'm gonna shut my phone down and try to get a hold of Sheed(?) I'm really really tired. So far I've noticed that or I remembered that it's been much longer since I've been on the bus heading to Mexico than I than I remembered I think it's I think I've figured it should be right around 2002. So at that point that wasn't nearly as many people have cell phones and checking their email and etc etc and.

  • Southbound & Down

    10/01/2011

    Hello, this is Skip Hunt. I'm coming to you from Austin Texas at least momentarily. It's January the 10th I believe and I'm planning on going to Mexico next and no plan. Just gonna hop on a bus and head down to the desert to check out the Witticoota(?) region that I've been to before. Sacred area for the Witchali(?) Indians and I had started a big peace sign out of stone and I noticed that a couple of times that I return there some other people had found it and added to it and it's been a couple of years. So I wanna see if it's still there or if anybody's added to it or if the goats have dispersed the stones back in to the desert but if you wanna know where it is it's kind of in a desert valley below the mountain town

    27/07/2010

    Hello this is Skip(?) Hines(?). I decided to do another one of these phone blogs to commemorate the fact that I'm as far West as I can go. Honestly didn't have a plan but I didn't really think that I was gonna go this far west back. I kinda figured I'd start turning around and around Las Vegas but I just figured that it wasn't that much further and I'm so glad I did. It's a little bit dark now so I can't really get any images. I got one but I'll attach to this message but so far I like it. It feels strange to say you're going West and then stay(?) on the West Coast. I know that sounds silly but it's a lot cooler here than I thought it's gonna be

Pretty soon it's 1:00 before I'm actually on the road, but all of the anxiety just started melting away like within the 1st hour, that could have been the heat I suppose. But I forgot
