It was about 8pm when I was standing in the Best Western parking lot somewhere off Interstate 5. I was staring into the cargo area of the car that contained two suitcases, a cooler, but no backpack. “Where the hell is it?” I said out loud. At the moment, I didn’t know. This was the first night of a 4-day road trip. What happened next is the topic of today’s TDS photography podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
