Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 10

The week started out with an extra day in Chicago thanks to a big snowstorm that canceled a flight back to L.A. However, by the end of the seven days, I was settled back into SoCal for the next few weeks, counting down to an annual three-day business event (April 2-4 this year) that I help plan and execute for my day job. Let’s take a look at the images!

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 9

As the calendar flipped from February to March, I spent just one full day in L.A. during the week. Below, you’ll see a few more from Miami, where we left off in week 8 and then a transition to much more frigid Chicago for the second leg of a lengthy bit of biz travel. Remember, like always, to see a full size version of the image, simply click on any of these below!

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 8

After a brief delay thanks to work roadies to Miami and Chicago, I finally got a chance to knock out some of the photos from the past couple weeks. Good news is, between this post and the next Photo-a-Day weekly recap, there will be plenty of Miami and Chicago to go round. Enjoy!
