Rochester Bike Kids
For my photojournalism class we had an assignment where we had to tell a two minute story about ourselves. The story I chose was about my bike ride last year across the US. Bike Ride – Self Portrait with Video from Joe Philipson on Vimeo.
Ryan Bailey – Aspiring Musician
The following is a story I did for my photojournalism class. The challenge was to find someone you do not know and then do a story about them. This is my story.
Rochester Fireworks
Driving home the sky lit up with the most amazing light show. I pulled over and quickly got out of my car in a field (I know it’s dangerous but you gotta get the shot!) and opened my truck… crap… no camera! SO, I rush home! I managed to get this shot before the thunderstorm [...]
Rochester Puerto Rican Festival
This past weekend I attended the infamous Puerto Rican Festival here in Rochester, NY. I say infamous because the Puerto Rican festival is known for it’s consistent outbursts of violence. The use of professional equipment in the festival was forbidden. I was fortunate enough to slide in with my camera but many people were interrogated [...]
Walking About Rochester, NY
Rochester, I haven’t had much time to explore this city, however my first impressions are this. The people are great, and very diverse. Nobody cares if you run a red light and it seems like everyone does it. Technology? Here? Doesn’t exist. New York’s bureaucracy is almost unnavigable and the only thing to do for [...]
Naim Hakim
Naim is a cool frood, he invited me to his show the other night and here are just a couple photos I took of him. I’m surprised at the quality of photos. Shot with my 5d Mark II, the available light was so low that the auto-focus would work so I manually focused at f/1.2. [...]
Niagara Falls
In this shot I wanted to show the details in the water below. I kept the waterfall highlighted and burned the rest of the image, drawing the viewers eyes centered. I stopped by here on my trip from California to Rochester, NY. My New home. This is on the Canadian side of the falls and [...]
Mancha the Fantastic!
Mancha (spot in some language) was pretty much the coolest dog on my recent camping trip to Utah. I couldn’t wait to post these photos because she was super cute. She wore her feet out from hiking with us and playing frisbee all week. Here’s a photo of her on the last day, she can [...]
Rondal Partridge
Couple weeks ago, thanks to my long lost cousin Sally Stein, I had the honor to meet Rondal Partridge, I was told he was 92 years old but I can’t find any verification on that online. We talked about photography a little bit but he mostly wanted to show me his garden and chickens. He [...]
Messing About in the Control Room
At Lancaster Baptist Church, my three good friends work in the control room during the services. While I was there, and of course with my camera, we had a little fun messing around taking pictures. The first one above I love because of it’s evil look. My friend Larry is just recovering from cancer and [...]
