Posted on by

The week of Nov. 11-17 was a pretty quiet one — until a fateful Saturday night at the Coliseum, when USC upset No. 5 Stanford. Let’s get right to the pics!

New Project! Photo-a-Day 2013 … Here’s Week 1

Posted on by

Along with my Lyric of the Day (#LOTD2013) project on Twitter (see today’s for an example), another project I’ve taken on for 2013 is a “Photo of the Day,” which is going to appear here on TomRants either weekly or semi-monthly, depending on my workload. I’m always looking to improve my photography skills, and seeking out an image each day is a great way to do that. Some of these will be very specific to the day at hand, and others will just be something that caught my eye.

So, without further ado, here’s Week 1 of 2013:

1 JAN 2013: Night falls on downtown onthe first day of 2013. Here's the view from my home office window.
