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!

The week of May 13-19 was a great one thanks to all of my wonderful loved ones who made my 42nd birthday on May 15 so memorable. Let’s take a look at the week’s images!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 18

The calendar flipped from April to May in the midst of the 18th week of 2013. And it was another much-needed week spent mainly in and around the apartment in downtown. However, a Dodger game, a visit to USC’s campus and a Kings playoff game did add a little spice to the week’s images.

Remember, to see any image full size, just click right on it! Let’s take a look at the photos from April 29-May 5. Enjoy!
