  • Pictures I Like-A few days late

    John Clanton | Updated: Thu, Apr 18, 2013

    It’s been too long since we updated Pictures I Like, so I’ll refresh you in case either of you have forgotten since the last time. Occasionally, we’ll comb through Merlin, our archive system, and find pictures that deserve a look, or, in the case of some of these photographs, deserve...
