“Ay Cabron!, just who do you think you are? You think you’re something special?!”

“No. Nothing special at all. Just using the marginal skills the great spirit gave me & trying to lift myself out of the cauldron of fear the most powerful have brewed for the masses. Trying to refocus away from the dark recesses that keep a soul in prison and point my lens at the utterly amazing details around all of us all the time. And, draw attention to the fact we’re all alive right now this eternal moment and attempt to cast away the black shroud that imprisons us all.”

“Uh, if you say so Cabron. You getting on the bus or not?”

It was going different this particular time. I was more sick in the stomach and the pain lasted nearly two hours.

Near the peace sign I’ve been building out of stone since 2009, about 30 meters away is another primitive design of a five-pointed star that is much older and of unknown origin. It too is in stone and was really bothering and irritating me for some unknown reason. Perhaps because it looked like a pentagram? Or perhaps the peyote sickness was just warping my imagination.

I had been somewhat ill off and on for the previous three weeks or so and just asked Mescalito to heal me during this ceremonial session. Perhaps this healing is why I was feeling extra sick this time. There’s a good reason why the indigenous call this plant “medicine”. Sometimes healing hurts a bit I’ve found.

Another very strange effect this time was very intense yawning. That simply does not happen with this plant, at least for me it hasn’t in the last 17 years I’ve imbibed it. Something was definitely different this time.

Peace Juggle (via skiphunt)

I met an Argentine juggler in the Huiricuta desert region of Mexico while I was communing with Mescalito and working on a large peace sign outlined in stone… started in 2009.

I asked if he wouldn’t mind juggling inside my peace sign and obliged.

:-) For your pleasure…

I also experimented with seeing what I could do with an iPhone 4 and a handful of apps while I was traveling. I published some “Skip Hunt 20/20” short photomags from the road and a fine art photographer friend or mine who bought one tells me the print quality is impressive. If you’re curious… those issues and more can all be previewed online HERE

After verifying the quality was indeed even more impressive than I’d hoped… I uploaded my favorites to a gallery HERE

A friend asked me about the warped composite, tiled, layered, blurred, etc. effect I got on some of the scenes from this trip, so I wrote a brief Squidoo article explaining what I was after and why. For anyone interested, I included samples, etc. HERE
