Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 41

We start with a celebration and end looking out a bar window in Chicago. Here’s the week that was Oct. 7-13!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 30

I returned to SoCal for the week of July 22-28. And even with all the recent travel, I couldn’t wait to get away to Palm Springs on Thursday night for two days of doing absolutely nothing at all. Let’s take a look at the week’s images!

28-JUL-2013: Back at Dodger Stadium on a perfect Sunday afternoon. Yasiel Puig would eventually hit a "slide-off" HR to beat the Reds 1-0.

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!
