var addthis_pub="skiphunt"; Hola! In 2009 from June to August I traveled in Mexico on a motorcycle on a journey blogged here. The journey took me into the Sacred desert region known as Huiricuta by the Huichol Indians… to major cities… strange villages that induced perpetual deja-vu… mountains, jungle, peyote & mushroom rituals… coastline… matriarchal community… and amazing winding roads all through the Sierra Madres. These are images I made on this journey and appear in this book!

Take a sneak peek and place your order if you’re so inclined…</p> <p><a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/977457" target="_blank">http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/977457</a><br/><br/>It took me awhile, but I finally put together a book of my Skip Hunt Vagabond :: MEXICO 2009 Trip!<br/><br/>Cost is a bit steep on these books, so in order to keep my price reasonable… I edited this down to 40 pages. This includes a few stories from the trip, about 70 images, and excerpts from other stories. <br/><br/>I will also be putting together a more expensive and larger coffee table book that is mostly just photos from this trip with less writing. And, I will be putting together a less expensive black & white novel version with ALL of the text from the trip along with a few black and white photos for those more interested in the story than the images. <br/><br/>Most of the images I chose for this offering are in this video slide show: <a><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/7268216" target="_blank">http://www.vimeo.com/7268216</a></a><br/><br/>This first offering is a hybrid containing many of my favorite images and some of my favorite textual excerpts. I hope you enjoy!<br/><br/>If you go to this link, I included a preview of the entire book. I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or not, but I know if I’m buying a book… I like to flip through the whole thing first. :-)<br/><br/>I just ordered my copies as soft cover with premium paper… will post how they came out as soon as they arrive.<br/><br/>Disfruta!<br/><br/>Skip</p>http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/251090106http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/251090106Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:27:17 -0500<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7268216&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7268216&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7268216&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>In 2009 from June to August I traveled in Mexico on a motorcycle on a journey blogged here.<br/><br/>The journey took me into the Sacred desert region known as Huiricuta by the Huichol Indians… to major cities… strange villages that induced perpetual deja-vu… mountains, jungle, peyote & mushroom rituals… coastline… matriarchal community… and amazing winding roads all through the Sierra Madres.<br/><br/>These are images I made on this journey and that will also be used in a soon to be announced book.<br/><br/>Distruta!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.skiphuntphotography.com" target="_blank">© 2009 Skip Hunt</a></p>http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/224046095http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/224046095Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:02:00 -0400Three Fresh Collections of Skip Hunt Vagabond :: Mexico Calendars!: Been editing images for print...http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/200534279http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/200534279Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:16:00 -0400<img src="http://3.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kq14kdwUoh1qzf685o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Gracias” written out in my a stranger within my stony peace sign in the desert region below the mountain Quemado of Huiricuta in San Luis Potosi, Mexico</p>http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188757740http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188757740Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:21:49 -0400<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kq148uqf7Z1qzf685o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My stony peace sign in the desert region below the mountain Quemado of Huiricuta in San Luis Potosi, Mexico</p>http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188753404http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188753404Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:14:54 -0400<img src="http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kq13xutyfi1qzf685o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cactus in the desert region called Huiricuta by the Huichol Indians in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.</p> <p>See more thorny images from this series <a title="HERE" href="http://skiphuntespinas.carbonmade.com" target="_blank">HERE</a></p>http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188749110http://skiphuntvagabond.tumblr.com/post/188749110Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:08:18 -0400Again, rain and cold.
