About Daryl L. Hunter
When I was a wander lusting young man I would often find myself in beautiful places, so I bought a camera so I could document my wanderlust. I didn’t know anything about photography, but I had an eye and my photo processor started entering my photos in contests that I did well in; it compelled me too start studying photography and learning to see.
I have often been drawn to cities to make money but am soon repulsed by them at which time I move back to the county for a while. The more I studied photography; the more repulsive urban life became. So 1n 1987 I packed up my Toyo 4X5 view camera, Pentex 6X7 medium format camera, and my 35 millimeter cameras and headed to Jackson Hole Wyoming to join hundreds of other wanna be photographers, where I learned the real meaning of poverty with a view. I soon had to sell my large and medium format cameras, but I was in Jackson Hole, one of the best places on earth.
Jackson Hole is full of distractions, fly-fishing, hunting, whitewater sports, horseback riding, etc. which enabled my Attention Deficit Disorder to have its way. I wasn’t single minded enough to make a full time photographic career in Jackson Hole, so I became a freelance guide as well, fly-fishing, snowmobile, park tour guiding, and horseback wrangling my way to beautiful pictures all over the area and throughout the spectrum of activities in the area.
Photography has more pay offs than monetary. It drives us to search out pretty places or to dissect our surroundings to find it where we are. It makes us seek out beautiful things even in adverse conditions. Wherever we go we are looking for a beautiful rectangle we can isolate out of the chaos of life, when you are always seeking beauty, you will find more than your share that is rich.
My freelance aspirations bifurcated to include graphic design work, which opened the door to web publishing requiring that I pretend that I know how to write. It’s that Attention Deficit Disorder thing again.
Education: Independent study of photography and digital design: I do acknowledge the weakness of self-education, but you must acknowledge its strengths, considering today's rapidly changing technologies a person with the proclivity of independent study can rapidly adjust in this world influenced by Moore's Law and all it's consequential dynamics.
