2012 RV Trip: Yellowstone National Park
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.

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
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.

Kentucky Derby 138
Here are some images of the 2012 Kentucky Derby.
The Derby is an awesome place for a photographer to do visual storytelling. It’s a cornucopia of culture, from the decadence of the Infield to the elegance of the Grand Stands. All walks of life can be found at Churchill on the first Saturday in May. Derby is like Prom for adults. Let’s get all dressed up and not remember it tomorrow.
My assignments this year were Hats, the First Turn, and the guy from Flushing, New York, who got to place the $100K Dream Bet. The Dream Bet is horse racing’s version of the people who try to kick a field goal during halftime of the Super Bowl. I decided to go to the Infield for my most of my hat shots, mainly because I hadn’t got to spend much time there the past few years. I’m not EVEN going to post a picture of the Jerk from Flushing. Why? Because he was a jerk! He didn’t win, and he didn’t deserve to win. As a New Yorker, he might have had a chance to win big money at the Kentucky Derby, but he totally missed the concept of what Kentucky is all about. And that is, we are nice people, so please be nice to us in return. Thank you. I was given the task of getting as many horses in my photo of the First Turn as possible, which takes away from the composition, but it’s still a great place be sitting during the race.
The Derby is an all-day-event for me. But my favorite bucket-list moment is when I’m standing on the track at the First Turn, with dirt on my knees, with my hat off, watching 165,000 people sing My Old Kentucky Home. It doesn’t get any more Kentucky than that!
I don’t really have an explanation for this photo, other than this is one of my all-time favorite from the Infield. I call it “Fabio & Crack of Ass.” Like I said. Culture. Lots of Culture at the Kentucky Derby!
