That's about it for now, friends, followers, and cohorts!  More updates coming next week!!!  You can still RSVP for any of our Photowalks or contact us to get involved!

Photowalk Chicago

Last week we led a photowalk in Chicago for a few folks we've met on Google+.  We followed an architectural tour suggested to us by a contact from the Chicago Architecture Foundation which included: The Chicago Cultural Center, Chase Tower, The Chicago Board of Trade, Marshall Fields, among others.  

Here are the first few favorites from the day... 

Photo Walk and Google Buzz Meetup

What a trip! Jordana Wright Photography just returned from a week-long trip to San Diego, California, where we had some great shoots with some new friends we acquired from our favorite social network, Google Buzz.  Google was even kind enough to come down with a few of their staff to hand out some cool swag, buy us some refreshments, and make the whole photowalk and subsequent meeting official. Thanks again to Robin and Brian, and all of the folks that came out and made the trip great!  Below are the first few shots from inside Balboa Park from literally dozens of amazing images we captured in sunny Southern California- enjoy!

Indianapolis Window Washers

Window Washers hard at work.

So in the category of terrifying jobs Jordana Wright Photography is happy to photograph but never perform, Window Washing ranks fairly high up (no pun intended).  We spotted these brave guys hard at work on a recent trip to Indianapolis.  Their repelling system was pretty amazing.  They held suction cups in their left hands to keep close to the building, while they washed and squeegeed with their right hands.  Talk about coordination!

Thanks for visiting!
