Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 15

The week of April 8-14 was a little more sedate after the heavy work build-up to and then the week working at Response Expo. Outside of a Sunday trip down to OC for a 1-year-old’s birthday party, followed by a couple of hours at Disneyland, I pretty much kept it low-key and around L.A. Let’s take a look at the images.

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 14

The first week of April brought a rather early Response Expo. I am the content director of this marketing industry trade event, which I co-founded seven years ago. Our annual event was bumped back a month from its normal May timeframe thanks to some hotel scheduling issues. Still, it’s never a bad time to be in San Diego. Here’s the week that was April 1-7.
