Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 45

The week of Nov. 4-10 started quietly at home and office, but wrapped up with a four-day weekend in and around San Francisco as part of the annual USC Bay Area Weekender, as the Trojans faced the Cal Bears in Berkeley on Saturday. Let’s take a look at the images — and remember, to view any image at full size, simply click on it!

The week of  Oct. 21-27 was spent in and around L.A., but that doesn’t mean there weren’t some activities — like an industry networking event and another USC tailgate. As we turn the corner into the last 10 weeks of the Photo-A-Day 2013 project, let’s take a look at the images!

Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 42

Ready for a rush to the finish of my 2013 Photo-A-Day project? Good, because just a couple of days ago, I finally finished working up images from late November and December — and they’ve been loaded into the media cache on the blog.

Let’s get started by reaching back to mid-October of last year, for a week that started in Chicago, stretched through the Dodgers’ final home playoff game and on to my sister’s 40th birthday and beyond! Remember, to see any image at full size, just click on it!
