Or a bit less involved.

(defn take-by
  [f coll]
  (lazy-seq
    (when-let [s (seq coll)]
      (let [fst   (first s)
            value (f fst)]
        (cons fst (take-while #(-> % f (= value)) (rest s)))))))

(defn drop-by
  [f coll]
  (lazy-seq
    (when-let [s (seq coll)]
      (let [fst   (first s)
            value (f fst)]
        (drop-while #(-> % f (= value)) (rest s))))))

Sincerely
Meikel
