Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 42

Ready for a rush to the finish of my 2013 Photo-A-Day project? Good, because just a couple of days ago, I finally finished working up images from late November and December — and they’ve been loaded into the media cache on the blog.

Let’s get started by reaching back to mid-October of last year, for a week that started in Chicago, stretched through the Dodgers’ final home playoff game and on to my sister’s 40th birthday and beyond! Remember, to see any image at full size, just click on it!

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!
