“Selected Wonder: Photographs by Glory-June Greiff” will be on display at Joeyg’s Restaurant & Nightclub for the month of March. The exhibit will open Sunday, March 4^th with a reception & talk by Greiff from 3:30 to 5:30 PM.

Glory-June Greiff’s photographs in “Selected Wonder” are a celebration of the wonder and beauty to be found in the small details all around us. Greiff, a native of Hudson Lake in northern Indiana, is a public historian and preservation activist now based in Indianapolis. Her love of history and the splendor of the Indiana landscape are evident in her photographs. All of her photographs are shot exclusively with film.

“I have not yet surrendered to digital. Most of these photographs were printed from Kodachrome slides, a beautiful film and process no longer available. I am presently using low-fade Ektachrome; nice, but short of Kodachrome’s richness.” says Greiff.

Greiff has authored many books on the preservation of historic places in Indiana and her photography has always been an important part of her research and documentation. As a preservationist, she has written approximately eighty successful nominations to the National Register of Historic Places around the state. In the early 1990s she served as statewide director of Indiana’s Save Outdoor Sculpture (SOS) survey.

Aside from a B.S. in Radio-Television/English from Butler University (she worked several years on the air in radio) and a master’s degree in Public History from Indiana University, she credits her affinity for photography to other sources of inspiration. 

“Life has provided me with many informal instructors. My mother was a talented photographer who sold her photographs to travel magazines. I worked with a filmmaker from whom I learned much through example of line and composition. My work in historic preservation demands photographs that document and highlight the lines and angles of buildings. My eye is my own.” says Greiff.

At the opening reception for her exhibit at Joeyg’s on Sunday, March 4^th, Greiff will give a brief talk about her photographs. As an extra bonus, Greiff will also present some of her own poetry on stage.Books by Greiff will be available for purchase.
