Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 42

Posted on by

Ready for a rush to the finish of my 2013 Photo-A-Day project? Good, because just a couple of days ago, I finally finished working up images from late November and December — and they’ve been loaded into the media cache on the blog.

Let’s get started by reaching back to mid-October of last year, for a week that started in Chicago, stretched through the Dodgers’ final home playoff game and on to my sister’s 40th birthday and beyond! Remember, to see any image at full size, just click on it!

As my friend JY likes to call my alter ego, “Event Guy” came out this week: trips to Dodger Stadium, Staples Center and the Empire Polo Club in Indio for the second weekend of Coachella 2013 played a big part in the days between April 15-21. Here are the week’s images!
