Richard and Allison's Wedding

I had the opportunity to photograph Richard and Allison's wedding with my good friend Bradley J. Cox this weekend. It was my first wedding, but it was a lot of fun. We got some great shots and I learned a lot about wedding photography - it's a lot of work, but worth it for the pictures we got. Richard and Allison were great to work with as well and I hope they're having a great honeymoon in Orlando right now.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the photos.

Posse

Took this photo the other day with my friend Bradley Cox. I've been showing him some off camera lighting things and we're planning on working together to shoot some weddings in the near future. Let us know if you're looking for a wedding photo team!

Speaking of teaching, I have started giving one on one photo lessons and it's going great. Gift certificates for lessons are available ;)

Some photos from recent Bloom Magazine shoots

I recently started shooting for Bloom Magazine occasionally. The shoots are a lot of fun - I get to just go into a business that's stoked about getting a write up about their business in a slick and popular local guide magazine and take cool pics of them. Here's a few photos from my first shoots for the magazine. More to come, with any luck!

Back east

Went to Maryland to see my parents for Thanksgiving and see some friends in Baltimore this past week. My friend Bretagne gave me a couple 11 hour rides on her way to and from western VA. I was lucky enough to see my friend and former housemate who I haven't seen in about 2 years and is living in a punk house in Baltimore now. I didn't bring my camera for it for obvious reasons, but I went kayaking on the Severn River with Adam and Ben. I haven't had much chance to do much kayaking, but it was awesome - there's a used equipment sale at the university this weekend and I'll be there looking for a good deal on one (or two).

The Hogwire String Band

The Hogwire String Band is a great old time band here in Bloomington, featuring renowned musicians Brand Leftwich and Linda Higginbotham. I had the privledge of getting to photograph them in Linda and Brad's backyard about a month ago and got some great photos for them to use in some promos coming up. Check them out if you can!

Chopping


Chopping


I was sitting home alone and got really inspired by looking at a recent Strobist post on Chris Crisman and figured I'd go take a quick photo around the house. I really like the feel of his work and it got me excited.

This one was going to be a self portrait. As I was running back and forth my yardmate Scott came by and posed for me and saved me some trouble.

Defeating Indiana's Tallest

Last weekend Christie and I went camping up on the tallest point of Indiana - Browning Hill. Browning Hill is 928ft tall, making it just 72 feet short of being a mountain. A part of Hoosier National Forest in Brown County, it's a bit of a drive out in some pretty country roads and the only sign that there's a trail there is a tiny little post that is set out about 10 feet from the road. It's really beautiful up there and the leaves at this time of the year are awesome. Here's some pics.

Apparently these pretty little guys wrap a leaf in their web to make a little inverted cup shelter to hide in. Pretty cool.

Happy Halloween

Erin and I had a little shoot in the graveyard last night as the sun was setting.

Some night shots

I took these about a week and a half ago and have been meaning to put them up. Doing some night stuff again.

I've also been working on learning Wordpress and making a new website for GregClarkePhotography.com. It'll be simple and hopefully tastefully slick and have this blog integrated in. Been looking into work opportunities locally - some interesting prospects...

Time lapse

I did my first time lapse in a while. I've been inspired by the amazing time lapses that have been coming out like this one. Of course, mine's no where near that caliber, but it was mostly an effort to get out there and do one. I'd like to build a dolly rig like Sean Stiegemeier uses in that video and have been checking out some plans on making them. For now, though, this is all I have to offer the world. I don't even have intense music on mine.... yet

David Dondero, Paleo, Darren Hanlon show

David Dondero @ The Bishop


I went to the Bishop last night to see one of my favorite musicians, David Dondero. I packed along my camera, which I haven't done much of for shows, but it was fun getting some sweet pics of some sweet artists. I hadn't heard Paleo before, but he was really good. His music is somewhere between Bob Dylan and Simon Joyner. Darren Hanlon was entertaining and seemed like a sweet guy. David Dondero is one of my favorite artists and I was psyched to see him. He performed awesomely, but his set seemed a little short. There was another band after him that I didn't get any photos of - Unwed Sailor. They were really good, but contrasted a little too much with the other dudes. I wish they had played before David so that he could have played a while longer.
