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...

A gorgeous sunrise in Illinois

We woke up yesterday at 4:30am, and decided to just go with it.  After getting some work done on a few upcoming changes with our website, we were rewarded with a spectacular sunrise.  Sometimes it pays off to lose a little sleep.  Happy Friday!

Summer in the Mid

I once read an article in a photography magazine that boldly claimed there is nothing to photograph (as far as landscapes) in the Midwest.  I wholeheartedly disagree.  Here are a few photos from the sunset last night just outside Paris, IL...  
I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

The Indianapolis Zoo & White River Gardens

While in Indianapolis last weekend, we visited the Indianapolis Zoo and the White River Gardens.  We observed a lot of interesting behavior (the animals and the humans too...) and had fun exploring and photographing the various exhibits.  Here are a few of our favorite photographs from the day's adventures:

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.

Wild Weather in the Mid

This is my first June in the Midwest and it's taking some getting used to!  Wild storms have been popping-up every night this week -- seemingly out of nowhere -- with 35 mph winds, 50 mph gusts, torrential rain, eerie clouds, and odd post-storm lighting conditions.  Fortunately, wild weather is perfect for high impact photography.  Last night the storm cleared early enough for me to capture some of the bizarrely beautiful post-storm views.  Here are a few of my favorites:
