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 Monday, 3/1, 2010 through Monday, 2/28, 2011.
![_11/21/10_ USS Utah
Hawaii Day 2
This is part of the USS Utah, one of the 3 ships sunk on 12/7/41 that was not put back into service. On the other side of Ford Island lies the USS Arizona.
We also visited some places on Hickam AFB - it's nice to be staying with military folks :)
In the evening we went a luau at Paradise Cove. Such fun!
This place is so beautiful!
More Hawaii Photos!

Hawaii Day 1
Today we flew into Honolulu! My cousins picked us up and took us all over the North Shore. This turtle (and several of his friends) was on Ali'i Beach in Hale'iwa.
More Hawaii Photos!

![_11/19/10_ Rotunda
Here's my first super wide angle daily, using the Tokina 11-16 I rented. I had promised another for yesterday, but I did my entry for DSS #64 instead.
This is the rotunda in Powell Library at UCLA. It's pretty vast, so it's a good subject for an ultra wide lens. I shot a few other places on campus that I thought might benefit from this lens, but conditions were pretty bad.
This is the last SLR daily photo for a week - tomorrow we fly to Hawaii! Thanks for all the well wishes. I'll try to keep posting daily photos via iPhone during the trip.
Cheers!

![_11/18/10_ Coworker Mashup
This is my entry for DSS #64 - Nine. Check out this gallery to see how others are interpreting the theme. I've always wanted to participate in the dgrin contests but somehow I just never had.
I work with or near all these folks, and they were all kind enough to pose for the project. We have quite a range of ages and ethnic backgrounds going on, so that's pretty cool. I used my 50mm lens at f/9 and got close to fill the frame. I used red eye reduction on the flash to make sure the pupils weren't too big. Then I spent a long time tediously cutting each of these squares from each person's portrait and put it all into a Photoshop document using Smart Objects so I could easily swap out nose/eye/mouth to get the best balance. Finally the B&W conversion gave an overall sense of much-needed continuity.
HUGE thank you to my models - Alicia, Ayumi, Dayna, Ivette, Judith, Juan, Kelli, Melina, Russell, Sayan and Teresa - and my apologies to those whose lovely faces I didn't use in the final draft.

![_11/17/10_ Sprouting
This plant looked cool anyways, but it was extra interesting the way the sun was only shining on the top. I added vignetting in Lightroom to exaggerate that. Cool colors, no?
This evening I got my Tokina 11-16mm lens I rented for my Hawaii trip! It's so unbelievable wide! I'm excited to play around with it, so look for some super-wide dailies tomorrow and Friday. After that it'll be iPhone dailies for a week or so while I'm actually in Hawaii.
Oh, and don't forget to like my Facebook page so you can win a calendar!

![_11/16/10_ Cooled
This [relatively] recently cooled lava lives in the Hawaiian section of the botanical gardens. I will be going there soon! Hawaii, that is. Check out my last week of photos for a few other pre-Hawaii shots.
I tried to do some focus stacking shots, but they didn't work out like I wanted, so this is a single frame shot at f/36. I used an off-camera flash for illumination.
In case you missed it, become of fan of my Facebook page and you could win a free calendar! It's a holiday giveaway for the ages!

![_11/15/10_ Back to Back
Grabbed this shot in the library. I like the symmetry of the chairs with the messiness of the shelves. Most of the shelves are much more homogeneous than this one.
In other news, I decided to give away a calendar to some lucky fan of my Facebook page. Like it and you could be that lucky fan!

![_11/14/10_ Textures
My computer is fixed! Very quick turnaround from the Apple store. I was able to do a complete and flawless restore from my Time Machine backup.
This evening, I went for a walk around the neighborhood to search for a daily photo and found this. The plain wall, vertical reeds, grass and gray gradient tree struck me as a neat composition. Coincidentally, it was right across the street from Frank Gehry's house. Really.

![_11/13/10_ One
Between graffiti, massive bushes and large missing pieces, this sign has seen better days.
Shot with my phone as my wife and I walked down the alley near the Apple store after dropping off my iMac. The hard drive bit the dust without warning, but it's under warranty, so some nice Apple employee will be giving it a new one, hopefully sooner rather than later. I have backups of everything and am praying that they'll restore properly.
I used the Best Camera app to add vignetting before I uploaded. Once I get my computer back I'll re-upload it so all the EXIF data is visible, but it might look slightly different (but better).
