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.
![_11/03/10_ Tomato Drops
Our dinner leftovers came in a container that had a lot of condensation on the metallic lid. That, combined with a bunch of tomatoes my wife cut up presented a photo opportunity I didn't want to pass up. Edited in Lightroom, with most of the credit going to the Color CP 2 preset.

![_11/02/10_ Profeta Rose
Feel free to make up some romantic story about this image and title. In reality, it's just a random rose at Espresso Profeta where I grabbed coffee with my sister before she went to the airport and I went to work. We had a great time, as you can see in my previous 3 photos. Now it's my brother's turn to visit!
Today was a one-photo day, meaning I took only one photo. In other words, the photo you see here is the only photo I took today. Just one. One photo.
OK, see you tomorrow!

![_11/01/10_ Venice Dusk
Happy November!
Today was the last full day my sister is in town, and I'd say we made the most of it. We grabbed coffee and danishes at La Brea Bakery, checked out the bubbling asphalt at the La Brea Tar Pits and Page museum, did a little driving tour of Hollywood, ate lunch at Pink's, saw Mario Lopez taping Extra! at the Grove, bought far too much chocolate at the Farmers Market, toured the grounds of Greystone Mansion and finally indulged in delicious garlic knots at C&O Trattoria after catching the sunset on the Venice Pier, pictured here.
Woo!

![_10/31/10_ Hatter, Mad
Happy Halloween! Tonight we went to the West Hollywood Carnaval, the biggest Halloween party around. We've been meaning to go since we moved here, and we're so happy we finally did! My sister and I got some nice zombie makeup and my wife had quite the homemade batman costume. We saw all sorts of crazy stuff, from cute little kids to mostly naked people. I can't decide if it's encouraging or depressing to see how much commitment people have to their costumes.
This fellow was one of the best mad hatters I saw, and the photo turned out nicely - most didn't. I used slow-sync flash on most of the shots I took.

![_10/30/10_ Homecoming Panda
Happy Halloween!
The day before Halloween, we went to the USC Homecoming football game, which my wife and I have done for years. This time, my sister came along, so that was fun!
This is a zoomed-in shot of the student section. There were a lot of costumes, although only one really stands out here. Most of the students are making the "V" but sadly the victory went to Oregon. It was pretty expected that the Trojans would lose to the top ranked team in the country, but it was a great game! Most of it, anyways.

![_10/29/10_ Building & Sky
And the moon, too! But since this is a desperation shot with my phone, the moon is pretty tiny. My sister came into town today for a weekend visit! Hopefully I'll have some cool daily photos from all the fun places we'll see in the next few days...

![_10/28/10_ Pod
This is the interior of the CAA building in Century City. It also made an appearance on 5/27/10.
As usual, I was here for a lecture at the Annenberg Space for Photography. Tonight was Stephen O'Meara, who travels around the world with his wife Donna, observing volcanoes. Their theory is that volcanic activity is tied to the lunar cycle, and they've observed countless eruptions that peak at the same time as the maximum tide. It was really interesting and I'm happy that in a few cases that theory has actually saved lives. Unfortunately there is a negative stigma in the scientific community regarding anything to do with the moon, so not all vulcanologists are on board.
I'm planning on going to the next 2 or 3 lectures, so hopefully I'll have more good reports to give.

Lots of awesome clouds today! And... that's about all I have to say!

![_10/26/10_ Ballot
I voted today! Thank goodness for early mail-in ballots. If only filling in bubbles on this pretty pink slip would stop the incessant ads and mailers...
This shot was pretty simple - macro lens, off camera flash to the left, pen resting on a box at such an angle that it didn't slide off. Since I was just inches away, I shot at f/16 to get a decent depth of field so many of the numbers were in focus. Minor adjustments in Lightroom.
All those in the US, you'd better vote on Tuesday! Unless you have different viewpoints from me - in that case just stay home. Cheers!
