Fishing Hooks of Caletilla


"Fishing Hooks" ~ Caletilla. Mexico (c) 2011 Skip Hunt

What this is all about:

I think many get lulled into the daily routine, the bad news, the commute, the grind... to the point that they no longer remember to experience their lives fully. Happens to me as well. What I've found is that when I break out of that routine and comfort zone, forcing myself to deal with fresh and foreign experience through travel without itinerary, I begin to wake up. Details I hadn't noticed before present themselves anew and everything I experience feels more alive. I feel more alive and fully experiencing all of the incredible variants in sound, color, texture, thought and emotion.

What I'm trying to do is communicate that experience through images, writing about it, audio/video clips and general musings along the way. Many have told me that after they've followed along on one of these excursions, they begin to notice things they hadn't noticed before or are inspired to dive into their own life's experience.

I know you can also wake yourself up by shifting your perspective in thought via quiet meditation, walking your dog, working in the garden or a trip to your local library or art gallery. I'm just doing "it" more in the extreme through travel in order to capture more dramatic images and drive the point home more vividly.

The Kickstarter project is just my latest attempt to get my costs covered, provide incentives like fine prints, books, etc. and maybe have a bit left over for another adventure.

There's still time to pledge support and get a piece of this action before time runs out! More info HERE
