One day, my mother brought home a 35mm camera. I looked at it
and had this feeling at my core that I can’t explain, but I feel
like that was likely my first strong encounter that has become a
lifelong dance with intuition. I just held the camera and knew
I must learn how to use it. It was an instantaneous knowing of
sorts. From then on I was intently focussed on examining the
perceived world from every angle I could find.
The further I explored in distance and or detail, the more I
discovered how utterly enchanting our shared universe is. From
every difference in color, texture, and line, I began to
understand more fully the infinite possibilities of form.
Intuition has led me through 17 countries thus far, and
counting. The further I explore, the more I realize how much of
this incredible beauty is perpetually unfolding around us and
also simultaneously within. When I share these images with
others and learn they’ve also resonated with them in some
mysterious way as well, it proves my suspicion that all is
indeed one and everything is defined by a difference in sacred
frequency vibration.

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.
“Image making reminds me to awaken from the slumber and to
celebrate life’s rich pageantry parading all around us.”
