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!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 26

Ah, a week at home. And a Dodger homestand to boot. Not just any Dodger homestand, but the one that turned around what had been a dismal 2013 season. Let’s take a look at the week that was June 24-30.

27-JUN-2013: The week the Dodger season changed. And this, perhaps, the key moment: Yasiel Puig's 2-run single before a standing, sellout crowd lifts LA into a lead over the Phils they wouldn't relinquish.

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 22

The week of May 27-June 2 started with a Memorial Day trip down to Laguna Beach, but was mostly spent around the friendly confines of downtown. Let’s take a look at the images.
