Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 17

The week of April 22-28 was a homebody week, spent in and around downtown L.A., with plenty of still life images from around the house, and a few weekend shots around town. Enjoy!

I can never seem to get out of Coachella (or anywhere else, for that matter) without a new t-shirt ... or three.

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 16

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!

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 14

The first week of April brought a rather early Response Expo. I am the content director of this marketing industry trade event, which I co-founded seven years ago. Our annual event was bumped back a month from its normal May timeframe thanks to some hotel scheduling issues. Still, it’s never a bad time to be in San Diego. Here’s the week that was April 1-7.
