2012 RV Trip: Idaho & The Grand Tetons

July 08, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Gale and Judy took us on a month-long RV trip across the southern part of the United States in the summer of 2010. We went from Stanton to Dallas, to San Diego, up to L.A., over to Vegas, on across Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, through Denver and Kansas City, and ended the trip in St. Louis.

This year, the plan is to start in St. Louis, and Kansas City, then go north through Iowa and Minnesota, to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Across the Badlands, through Montana and into Yellowstone National Park. Then back up through Idaho and Washington State to Seattle. Then down the coast of Oregon, through the Redwoods of Northern California, to San Fransisco. Over to Reno and Lake Tahoe, to Salt Lake City, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, across Nebraska, back to Kansas City, and we’ll end the trip once again in St. Louis.

*From a photographers point of view, I would love to spend several days shooting each spot that we visit. But in reality, I’m just a tourist on this trip. So I do the best I can with the light that is in front of me.

We got a kick out of the fact that the Tetons were named by French Explorers in the early 1800s because the peaks reminded them of big breasts.

No Webb Vacation would be complete without stopping at military museums. This was the Minuteman Nuclear Missile Launch Site. Had we gone to war with the Soviets during the Cold War, this is where some guy would have pushed the big red button that would have ultimately sent us all to oblivion.

Natalie and I enjoyed the Bouncing Pillow as much as the kids. The Yogi Bear Park was by-far the best RV park we had ever stayed in.

Toying Around With Hipstamatic Photos

June 17, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

I downloaded the Hipstamatic App for my iPhone back in September. Since then, I have enjoyed the retro, toy camera look that it gives me. It allows me to take good photos, while having creative fun in the meantime. Especially when I don’t want to carry my SLR cameras. The Hipstamatic, and other retro camera apps like it, are a fun, cheap approach to photography. The program allows you to pick different lenses, and different film… each creating its own effect. It even takes a few minutes to develop, similar to a Polaroid Instamatic. I recommend downloading a toy camera app for your smart phone.
