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!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 27

It’s been at least six weeks since I’ve posted an update to my Photo-A-Day project. Hence, there’s plenty of catching up to do. That means it’s definitely time to get started! The week of July 1-7 was festive all around, and also provided some visual opportunities to look at various shapes and textures.

Remember, to see any image full size, just click right on it! Let’s take a look at the photos from the first week of July. Enjoy!

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!
