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.
![_09/01/10_ Foggy Palms
I took advantage of some super-foggy conditions this morning to take some photos. I'm not very experienced shooting in fog, so most of them are less than spectacular. I'm guessing a tripod and a long shutter speed would help. I do like this shot though - the palm tree is very... hairy.

![_08/31/10_ Cherry Tomato
One of many fun-colored cherry tomatoes from the farmers market. I first wanted to shoot a bunch of them to show off the different colors (red, green, yellow, orange), but I grew fond of this little guy and gave him a solo shoot. This is a single shot, one off-camera flash, macro lens at f/22, minimal editing.
See the setup!

![_08/30/10_ Dragon Fruit
How cool is it that I can buy dragon fruit at the local farmers market? I've bought dried dragon fruit at Trader Joe's before, but we didn't care for it. The fresh stuff is much more mild, maybe even a little too mild - there's not really a distinctive flavor. Regardless, it's pretty fun!
I cut it up like it was a kiwi, since it was about the same size and density. I bought two small fruits; they also had some larger ones that were the size of a small pineapple.

![_08/29/10_ Fountain
This is the water fountain at Howard Hughes center, where I saw Avatar in IMAX today. $16 for a ticket sure is steep, but I'm glad I went. It's pretty awesome in IMAX 3D.
The symmetry of the fountain caught my eye, so I decided to make a daily photo out of it. Have a great week!

![_08/28/10_ Square Shadows
For the geometry-challenged, I should point out that these shadows are actually triangles, not squares. They are framing squares for woodworking, of course, which temporarily live at our house while our bay window is rebuilt.
I set them on top of a glass wall that stops about 1.5 feet from the ceiling. I ended up setting them on a book to get an extra inch and make the point closer to the ceiling. My remote flash is on a tripod behind them, creating the shadows on the ceiling.

![_08/27/10_ Fancy Mac
Even Apple haters can't deny the beautiful engineering of the Mac Pro chassis. This one is a couple years old, but I just got it at work to use today. This shot was taken with my phone, it's pretty much a desperation shot.
Have a super weekend, y'all!

![_08/24/10_ Hot Dog Stick Stand
I took the day off today and it was wonderful. I slept in and later my wife and I went to the beach and got corn dogs from lunch, where I took this shot while we waited in line. We also went to a movie and grabbed dinner at the new Santa Monica Place mall.
I'd never been to a Hot Dog on a Stick before. It wasn't all that special.
