Photo-a-Day 2013 … Week 2!

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Tom

Last week, I debuted my 2013 “Photo of the Day” project on the blog. Along with my Lyric of the Day (#LOTD2013) project on Twitter, it’s another way for me to keep my eyes open, my head thoughtful … and my blog that much more active!

Here’s the second week of 2013:

8 JAN 2013: Hopping in my car after a day at the office, I noticed these intriguing visual lines in the parking structure.

9 JAN 2013: Lamp stands light our apartment hallway.

10 JAN 2013: A glance out a conference room window at Century City during a break on an interview assignment.

11 JAN 2013: You can never go wrong with Friday night sushi.

12 JAN 2013: Checking out the Endeavour’s new digs in Exposition Park.

13 JAN 2013: Jack Single Barrel, ice ball. Proper Sunday evening.

14 JAN 2013: A waffle eclipse? Nope, a different look at a lighting fixture in the dining room.

Picture This?!

Posted on February 4, 2012 by Tom

I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures (as anyone who’s a Facebook friend of mine will readily attest, perhaps even derisively). And I feel like I have a pretty good eye with a camera. But I’ve never considered myself a “photographer” if you catch my drift.

But with some access to a really nice Nikon and Adobe Lightroom, I’ve decided to give “photography” a try in 2012. So, here are some of my best efforts from my first couple weeks of fiddling around. I’d love to hear what you think — even if you think I should just stick to taking pictures rather than becoming a photographer.
