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 16

As my friend JY likes to call my alter ego, “Event Guy” came out this week: trips to Dodger Stadium, Staples Center and the Empire Polo Club in Indio for the second weekend of Coachella 2013 played a big part in the days between April 15-21. Here are the week’s images!
