. . . And away we go!

This is not a “trip journal” theme with the usual travel details, but instead a collection of my favorite images & thoughts along the way.

Instead of functioning as a tour guide, my intent is to take you right along with me, nestled inside my head, reading thoughts and seeing what I see.

I set out on this trip from Austin, Texas going more or less westerly with the idea there would be no rules. If I found the first place I arrived to be calling me to stay awhile, then so be it.

If the road called me further, then I’d be free to ramble.

Please enjoy, and welcome aboard! ~ SKIP HUNT © 2010

(Skip has agreed to share some of this new book of his with us here at aamora. Skip’s book can be purchased here (U.S.) or here (U.K.).

The excerpt above is from the opening pages of the book, and the photos below are some of what you’ll see as you travel along with him.

*****
We’re always pleased when aamora member Skip Hunt checks in with us from one of his travels. His photography is remarkable for its beautifully vivid color, incisive composition and varied locales, including Mexico, Guatemala and South Africa. And now he has published a book on his motorcycle travels through the South West U.S. It’s beautifully done, and would make a great gift.

The Kindle Edition of the book is available here (U.S.) or here (U.K.). The book will be available in print as well on Amazon soon – watch for it.

  1. Terrific stuff Skip – and kudos for taking on photo book publishing for ebook platforms. I’ll be very interested to hear how this goes for you. Are you planning an iPad version? Best wishes, Alexis

  2. Thanks a million everyone! Honor to be here. 🙂

    And thanks to Aaron for the feature!!!

    Trying to get caught up… just saw this. Been traveling in Washington DC visiting family.

    I built a new site for myself that has an app that lets me update journal/blog pages via iphone app. It’s on squarespace and I’m testing what I can do while traveling with only an iphone to collect impressions. From audio, to stop motion, to panoramic images, to stills and video. I’ve got 3 pages full of entries so far, all done remotely from my iphone. I put the current DC journal/blog as the main page until the trip is wrapped. http://kaleidoscopeofcolor.com

  3. amazingly vivid images that we’ve come to expect and enjoy from you! The book can only be a success!

  4. “I hear a wind
    whistling air
    whispering
    in my ear

    Boy mercury shootin through every degree
    oh girl dancin down those DIRTY and DUSTY trails
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    around the world the trip begins with a kiss

    roam if you want to
    roam around the world
    roam if you want to
    without anything but the love we feel

    skip the air-strip to the sunset yeah
    ride the arrow to the target
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    around the world the trip begins with a kiss

    roam if you want to
    roam around the world
    roam if you want to
    without anything but the love we feel

    fly the great big sky see the great big sea
    kick through continents bustin bounaries
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    around the world the trip begins with a kiss

    roam if you want to
    roam around the world
    roam if you want to
    without wings, without wheels
    roam if you want to
    roam around the world
    roam if you want to
    without anything but the love we feel

    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
    take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness”

  5. This series is wonderful as I’m sure the book is equal or surpassing….I’ll check it out! Visions of an artist with his eyes open and the will to roam.
