For Fun, Try a Photo Walk!

Tweet

I'm in JFK, on my way to Paris -- photos from France up next!

But first:

I went on a photo walk last Saturday, led by a film company named Cinestill that refinishes Kodak film for movies. They lead photowalks all over the world. They took us -- us being at least 75 photographers, with cameras strapped all around them (I, however, had an iPhone and was fully adopted into the family) -- on a windy path through the annual Rochester International Jazz Festival to a secret neighborhood I didn't know existed until that day. Then to the Genesee River and back into town.

Here are my photos from that day.

You're getting a picture of a classic car simply because I love classic cars.

Isn't this a handsome building? It's across from Ugly Duck Coffee Shop, for those of you who live in Rochester.

Lots of patterns in this photo!

Here's the first house in the secret neighborhood.

I love the purple!

I'm a sucker for May Apples and shady gardens.

Another house in the secret neighborhood.

I call this photo "No Privacy" because I probably shouldn't have taken it.

More from the secret neighborhood (whose name I don't know)

Here's a fellow photo walker fiddling with his gear.

A bit impudent of him

A photowalker NOT in comfortable shoes

I love messy buns.

More tats

Looks like a church, right?

It has no roof

Inside it's going wild

Tree growing out the window. This is the old St. Joseph's. The roof and interior were destroyed in a fire in the 1980s.

Photo is even more successful as a black and white.

A man we're proud to claim as a Rochesterian

Reminds me of the Grace Building in NYC.

Three years in, I've come to call Rochester home.

A fantastic drummer at the jazz festival.
