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!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 17

The week of April 22-28 was a homebody week, spent in and around downtown L.A., with plenty of still life images from around the house, and a few weekend shots around town. Enjoy!

I can never seem to get out of Coachella (or anywhere else, for that matter) without a new t-shirt ... or three.

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 13

It’s been a busy few weeks since the last post, but I am about ready to get caught up on the Photo-a-Day project on the blog!

For this week’s images, I’m cutting the images to six days in order to coincide with the final day (and Sunday) of March. Until now, the weekly updates have run on a Tuesday-thru-Monday schedule, since New Year’s Day was a Tuesday. But this natural break at the end of the first quarter allows a simple change to a normalized Monday-thru-Sunday schedule from here on out.

These photos revolve heavily around downtown Los Angeles. Let’s take a look (and remember, to see a larger version of any image, just click on the image you want to expand).
