Posted on March 24, 2013 by Tom

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!)

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 10

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Tom

The week started out with an extra day in Chicago thanks to a big snowstorm that canceled a flight back to L.A. However, by the end of the seven days, I was settled back into SoCal for the next few weeks, counting down to an annual three-day business event (April 2-4 this year) that I help plan and execute for my day job. Let’s take a look at the images!

5-MAR-2013: Great reflections of city lights as dusk hits during a big Chicago storm.

7-MAR-2013: This display work of Bailey Pillow Pets (yes, Pillow Pets is licensing to sports teams now) at a souvenir stand at Staples Center amused the heck out of me.

8-MAR-2013: Light wisps of clouds silhouetted against dark overcast with the thinnest sliver of clear skies made for one helluva OC sunset.

9-MAR-2013: Great seats+Kings throwbacks+early goal= good image.

10-MAR-2013: Clear & warm Sunday means this DTLA view stretches all the way to the San Gabriels.

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 8

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Tom

After a brief delay thanks to work roadies to Miami and Chicago, I finally got a chance to knock out some of the photos from the past couple weeks. Good news is, between this post and the next Photo-a-Day weekly recap, there will be plenty of Miami and Chicago to go round. Enjoy!
