1 hour in Indianapolis

Last time we were in Indianapolis, the city was in a frenzy of construction for the upcoming Superbowl XLVI.  Having lucked out with a beautiful 60* day in January, we decided to hit the downtown for an hour and take a quick tour of all the updates and improvements of the city.  My focus for the shoot was to expand my collection of architecture images of Indianapolis.  The harsh noon light was actually perfect for the approach I took with my 10-22mm wide angle, a circular polarizing filter, and the white balance set to 2500K for an enhanced blue-cast.  Check out a few of our favorite photos from the day below...

Chicago in Black and White

Last week we took a little trip to Chicago...  we visited the Art Institute of Chicago, checked out the infamous bean, and ate some ridiculously good Ethiopian food!  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the trip -- all in Black and White to help set off the textures of the city!

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!

White River State Park, Indianapolis

Recently we have made several trips over to Indianapolis (only about 1.5 hours from our house in Paris, IL) to check out the Downtown area and White River State Park.  Indy is a really amazing city with a great vibe.  While in town we also visited The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art.  They have a very extensive and impressive collection and its definitely worth a visit!


After all of the Photo Walks we've been doing in Paris, Illinois with the Photography Class at the Paris Art Center, Indianapolis seemed like an obvious location to explore in images.  The city is very pedestrian friendly, and has a definite Midwestern pace -- perfect for the stops and starts of Jordana Wright Photography.  We saw and captured many interesting textures, patterns, art installations, and architecture -- we were even in the perfect place at the perfect time to witness some terrifyingly brave window washers (pictures later in the week) on one of the buildings downtown.

North Halsted, Chicago in Abstract

While in Chicago this week, we had some extra time so we walked around the North Halsted area and took some abstract photographs of the neighborhood.  Here are a few of our favorites.  Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

Moss grows in a brick driveway.

One of Chicago's many interesting alleys.

The alley entrance.

One of the many wonderful details of this neighborhood -- an inclusive community.

Elegant architectural details can be found everywhere...

Patterns are everywhere too...

One of the many flower boxes in the neighborhood.  

You'd never know you were in a city...
