#60, Owen County

We visited Spencer, IN during their Apple Butter Festival. The festival was held on the courthouse square. The perfect gathering place for people. 

Owen County makes 29 courthouses photographed as of September 29, 2012. On the same day, I also took photos of courthouses in Shelby, Decatur and Johnson counties. That will bump the total number to 32. The project was started just over a year ago. I'm pleased with the progress. Sixty more to go! 

#55 Morgan County

Took a day trip to B'town last weekend. On the way, we stop in Martinsville to photograph the courthouse. A chili cook off was taking place. The competition reminded me why these buildings are so important. Not only do the courthouses keep important records, and justice served, courthouse squares are gathering places to celebrate county culture.

The one thing that stuck out to meabout Morgn County's courthouse was the clock tower. I couldn't find enough angles to do it justice.

#90, Wells County

Bluffton is the county seat of Wells County. Its located just south of Allen County. The courthouse is gorgeous and listed on the National Register of Historical Places. 

Tin Cup Gypsy

I love good, live music. I thinks that's a big reason why truly enjoy concert photography. I think its the "in the moment" element I enjoy capturing. Those moments are easily captured in any photo shoot. There's just something I enjoy about musicians, music, and trying to get folks to feel the music through photographs. 

This is a concert tht was in Broad Ripple Park in June, I know, I'm a little behind on some posts. The group is Tin Cup Gypsy out of Nashville, TN. The drummer is from New Palestine, IN. I really enjoyed some of their music. I'm a sucker for a mandolin...then throw in a fiddle and a squeezebox, my toes are a tappin'!

Here's the band's website:  www.tincupgypsy.com You can find them on Facebook, too: www.facebook.com/tincupgypsy

Here are a few more photos from their concert.

Indy Parks hosted concerts through out the parks system. Each park hosted a genre. Broad Ripple Park hosted the original music series.

#1 Adams County, Decatur, IN

I made a stop in Decatur, IN to photograph the Adams County courthouse. I stopped on a Friday, so I was able to go in a shoot a few interior shots.
