Bill’s Truck Stop 1990

December 1990, and according to the box of slides, someplace on Interstate 5. After googling, it seems Bill’s is now gone, and I’m unsure of the exact location. That J’s sign makes me think it’s at the junction of 58, and this is now the site of the T/A Travel Center, but I don’t really know for sure. I recall it was about 3AM and I needed to finish the roll of film before I got home, so I banged these out while I gassed up. 24 years ago, I’m 30 years old in these pics and yes, I still own, and sometimes night shoot, in that gray hoody. And check out the gas prices! $152.9 for diesel, $1.42.9 for unleaded. Cool ’80s trucks that you just don’t see anymore too. It’s funny how the passage of time makes these way more interesting now than when I shot them.
