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 Tuesday, 3/1, 2011 through Wednesday, 2/29, 2012.
![_04/19/11_ Linguini
Desperation shot of some linguini in a container. I simply set it on the counter and stuck my compact into it. I used a flashlight to add some additional lighting.

![_04/18/11_ Hanging On
I swore this thing was dead.
I mean, what kind of stupid crane fly just hangs onto some leaves with only its front two legs? I thought maybe it died during the night and just hadn't fallen off yet. I got super close to it and took 7 photos before it proved me wrong and flew away.

![_04/17/11_ Escalator Obscured
My mom-in-law rolled into town today and we took her to Santa Monica Place for dinner. The mall is outdoors, and all of the escalators have these coverings over them. I zoomed in so that it's kind of hard to tell what you're looking at.
And if you missed it yesterday, check out my photos from the Malibu Lagoon & Adamson House.

![_04/16/11_ Three
As promised in yesterday's photo, I went to the Malibu Lagoon this morning to take photos at sunrise. It was hard to choose a favorite, so I asked my Facebook fans to help, and they chose this one. Are you a fan of me on Facebook? You should be, it's the most exciting thing you can ever do ever. Seriously.
The other shots from this morning are in a gallery - Malibu Lagoon and Adamson House. Check 'em out, it's a cool area.

![_04/15/11_ Bell Shadow
I liked this simple scene from my neighborhood as I walked around at sunset to get a photo.
Simple is good, because I had a pretty crazy week that was topped off by a very crazy Friday afternoon. We had 5 pallets of computers delivered that were supposed to come on Monday - they showed up at 4pm and I had to scramble to find a place to put them and get help to unload them. Why did they come 3 days early? Who knows...
I'm 90% sure I'm going to the Malibu Lagoon at sunrise tomorrow to take photos, so stay tuned for that! Have great weekend everyone.

![_04/14/11_ Rising Into Black
Tonight I went to see Mike Theiss speak at the Annenberg. He's a storm chaser and he showed some amazing photos and video of hurricanes and tornadoes. Check out his website - www.extremenature.com. It was a really interesting talk and I'm glad there are people like him doing that. I don't think I'll ever be one of them, but I can fantasize.
This is one of the towers outside the Annenberg... not the most inspired shot, but I like the black and white treatment with the fading vertical lines. There were certainly no 150mph winds, but it was pretty gusty so I'm glad I got a sharp shot.

![_04/13/11_ Spout
Looks like a good home for a very small spider.

![_04/12/11_ Orange Net
I'm not sure what this is called, but it's part of a palm tree where the seeds (dates?) grow. On this particular palm tree it's bright orange.

![_04/11/11_ Curtain
I've been wanting to take this shot since last week and finally did today. It kind of fits my mood, since I've had a headache for most of the day and things have been kind of fuzzy.
The subject of this vertically panned photo is the stringy tips of a bamboo plant. They hang down like a mini weeping willow and I wanted to exaggerate that verticality. I particularly like the color scheme, and it reminds me of the album for Narrow Stairs, although more green and obviously not blocky. I took a couple dozen shots with different manual settings, this one had the most visual interest.

I swore this thing was dead.
