Welcome to the One/Day Project
Here you will find hundreds of photos that I've taken every day since 2/29/2008. I reached my initial goal of making it to leap day 2012 (after 1462 photos), but I'm still going - the new goal is to make it to Monday, 2/29/2016.
Every photo in these galleries is a unique creation from that day. My intent is to create art, and I've taken great care to create most of these photographs. In addition to not uploading simple snapshots, I try incredibly hard not to repeat myself.
Please enjoy, and feel free to comment. Like the shot? Give it a thumbs up. Really like it? Buy a print or digital download.
Thanks for looking!
Photographs from Friday, 2/29, 2008 through Saturday, 2/28, 2009

Pewter keychain depicting End of the Trail, a sculpture by James Fraser.
Today I learned that Photoshop CS4 has a focus stacking* feature built in, so I had to try it. I used this keychain because it has a lot of detail up and down, and without focus stacking much of it would be out of focus. 13 shots of different focus points were used to make this final composite.
Sadly, Photoshop didn't handle the background too well, so I ended up masking the keychain and putting it over black pixels. Even so, this is a really cool feature that I hope to play with more!
*Focus stacking is where you take multiple images of the same thing with the focus at different points, then blend them together so everything is in focus. This is especially useful for macro subjects, where the depth of field is very small when you get really close. Tripod is a must.
