Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 52

I’m happy to report that this post (finally) wraps up my Photo-A-Day project from 2013! It only took me almost an entire year after 2013’s completion to get it done — but done it is. Week 52 is actually a nine-day stretch from Dec. 23-31. If you’ve traveled this long pictorial road with me, thank you. Hopefully it was enjoyable — I know I enjoyed living it! Finally — and for the last time — to see any of the images here (or in any of the Photo-A-Day posts) at full size, simply click right on it.

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 39

It was time to hit the road again during the week of Sept. 23-29, with a week-long work trip to Las Vegas followed by a quick hop to Phoenix to hang with some friends and go to the USC-ASU game in Tempe. It was a fun week with a lot of variation in the images I captured. Let’s take a look — and remember, to see any image full-size, simply click on it!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 35

Yep, we headed for Hawaii on Wednesday. Pretty much all you need to know about the week of Aug. 26-Sept. 1 — though I did capture one helluva sunset at Dodger Stadium before we headed for the islands. Without further ado, let’s get to the images (and, remember, to see full-sized versions, just click directly on any image).
