The week of Sept. 30-Oct. 6 offered up a pretty wide array of image opportunities. From still-lifes to portraits to wide shots, there are some solid ones in here. Let’s take a look as we turn the corner into the year’s final quarter!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 39

It was time to hit the road again during the week of Sept. 23-29, with a week-long work trip to Las Vegas followed by a quick hop to Phoenix to hang with some friends and go to the USC-ASU game in Tempe. It was a fun week with a lot of variation in the images I captured. Let’s take a look — and remember, to see any image full-size, simply click on it!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 31

If those of you who’ve followed along have been wondering if my Photo-A-Day project was going to peter out and be left unfinished, the answer is a definitive, “NO!” Though the past few months have been unbelievably busy and some technological limitations have kept me from uploading and working up the photos from the year’s final four months, I am planning on pushing forward and making sure that all 365 images will make it on to this blog by the end of February.

To get started on that goal, here’s the next week’s worth of images dating from July 29-August 4. Remember, to see any image full size, just click on it!
