This episode is a bit different. First, it is audio-only (and when you listen, you’ll understand why). Second, it is fully recorded in the field on a few hikes and an overnight camping trip that would usually be a photography trip. I suggest listening with headphones.

Here, I take my first camera-less trip in well over 20 years. Did I survive? What is left of me?

Along the way, I talk about why I wanted to try this, why I love this part of Washington state, the importance of photography, whether I regretted not bringing the camera, and so much more.

There are, of course, no film photos to share with this one. I did take two or three cell phone pics, though.
