Books By David Hunnicutt

David Hunnicutt has published three books of stories and photography. His newest book, On A Long Road Wandering, was recently published in December of 2010. His first two books, Chasing Eight: In Search Of The American Cowboy and Living With Ghosts were both published earlier in the same year.

On A Long Road Wandering

Hungry to re-establish the connection that once existed between man and the geographical universe, wanderers are not afraid to seek the lonelier road nor to attempt to find beauty and meaning in everyday things.

Across streams, mountains, and deserts; traveling from town-to-town; finding the extraordinary in the ordinary; wanderers are the proverbial seeds that have been scattered to the four winds—relentlessly seeking through their travels peace, contentment, and a better way of living.

On A Long Road Wandering is a book for the restless—for those who hear the seductive call of the open road and are unable to resist.  Capturing an array of David Hunnicutt’s travels over the past several years, this book is dedicated to all those who are searching in earnest to discover life’s true meaning and now find themselves on a long road wandering.

Chasing Eight:  Images Of The American Cowboy

Logging thousands of miles for this book, David Hunnicutt’s travels took him first across Nebraska swinging south through Kansas.  Inspired by what he saw and the people he met, he  then ventured into western portions of South Dakota and across Montana.  Serendipitously, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma were filled with dozens of remarkable encounters.

When all was said and done, David Hunnicutt had covered the lion’s share of cowboy country in a little more than three years—and the experience was one of the most meaningful times of his life.

Chasing Eight: Images of the American Cowboy is the culmination of his adventures.  Hard working, genuine, and modest to a fault, the Cowboys and Ranchers featured in this book are the real deal.

Living With Ghosts

Each of us has our own ghosts and, unlike the kind we conjured up as children, they don’t necessarily leave us when the lights come on.  To the contrary, the ghosts of adulthood are much more terrifying and all-consuming.  Insidiously, the ghosts who pursue us now somehow possess an all-access pass, as it were, which allows them to frighten us in the very places we are most vulnerable.

To be sure, this is a book about ghosts.  Specifically, it is a book about living with ghosts–something the vast majority us do.  Examining not only the people who are haunted but the places as well, through his story-telling and images in Living With Ghosts, David Hunnicutt takes the reader on a journey of self-examination and, ultimately, self-discovery .

Living With Ghosts is David Hunnicutt’s second book of stories and photography.
