A travel kit is not about carrying everything. It is about protecting the things you cannot replace when the event is hours from home and there is no easy second chance.

Backups are boring right up until a card fails. This is the simple event-photo backup logic I want in place before I leave a venue with someone else's once-in-a-lifetime images.

Sending ten polished images during a corporate event sounds simple until you remember someone still has to photograph, select, edit, export and deliver them while the event is still moving.

The shoot may be over, but the work is not. This is how I move an event from the memory cards to multiple backups, culling, editing and final gallery delivery without making the workflow more complicated than it needs to be.
