Photo-A-Day 2013: Top 25 Outtakes — January Through June

Since I’ve fallen behind a bit on updating my Photo-A-Day project — not behind on taking photos, mind you, but merely on working them up and getting them into the blog — I figured I’d drop this post with 25 selected outtakes from the first six months of 2013. These images were all in consideration for best photo of their given day, but fell short. They were worked up and ready to go, so I present them here in a gallery format. To see each image at full size, simply click on it in the gallery!

Enjoy!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 25

The week of June 17-23 started with a Monday date playing in a charity golf tournament in south Orange County and ended by spending the first full weekend of summer in one of my favorite places: Chicago. Let’s take a look at the week’s images!

20-JUN-2013: View from the window of The Lodge on Division Street. Only in Chicago: a cop smoking a cigar, sitting on the hood of his squad car, hitting on a cougar.

21-JUN-2013: Love this image down the left field line at Wrigley Field. Check out the deep "foul pole" on the building across Waveland Ave., 460 feet from home plate.

23-JUN-2013: One hot Sunday in Chicago. One great boat ride on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. One hell of a skyline.
