Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 13

It’s been a busy few weeks since the last post, but I am about ready to get caught up on the Photo-a-Day project on the blog!

For this week’s images, I’m cutting the images to six days in order to coincide with the final day (and Sunday) of March. Until now, the weekly updates have run on a Tuesday-thru-Monday schedule, since New Year’s Day was a Tuesday. But this natural break at the end of the first quarter allows a simple change to a normalized Monday-thru-Sunday schedule from here on out.

These photos revolve heavily around downtown Los Angeles. Let’s take a look (and remember, to see a larger version of any image, just click on the image you want to expand).

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 12

It was definitely a homebody week between March 19-25. Between a heavy workload at the office and being pretty road weary, the only image in this group shot outside of my building comes on from a Friday night dinner at an old standby. Hope you enjoy this week’s pix!

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 11

The 11th week of 2013 was the first full week spent in L.A. in some time. From St. Patrick’s Day celebrations (and a more personal one) to some tasty food, this is the week that was March 12-18! (Remember, to see any of these images full size, simply click on the picture!)
