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.
![_12/09/11_ No Diving
Turns out I lied - it looks like I will, indeed, be uploading daily photos from North Carolina. This is the pool at our hotel, which for some reason had no swimmers on this December evening. I wish I had a more North Carolinian photo for you, but it was a long day of travel, US Airways was terrible, and I've had a pretty bad headache for most of it. C'est la vie.

![_12/08/11_ Self Portrait
I grabbed this shot on my way out of work. It looks like a crazy telepathic connection with another dimension. Or something?
This page might be static for a few days - I'm heading off to North Carolina tomorrow morning for a wedding! I'll probably wait until I return to upload my daily photos.

![_12/07/11_ Zig Zag
Today my mom-in-law flew into town. She's staying with us for two nights before we all fly across the country to a family wedding in North Carolina. It should be fun, although it will be quick and cold.
None of that has anything to do with today's photo, which is a building with a neat shadow of another building with windows on it.
Thanks for all the comments, thoughts and suggestions on yesterday's water shot! I was not expecting that :)

![_12/06/11_ Obos 69
This sculpture/fountain was created by George Tsutakawa in 1969. It's also featured in this photo of the day. It's cool. I like it.
As I said in the 9/22 photo, I want to come back and do something super-cool with my dSLR. One thing I don't like about this photo is the distracting background - because I used the smallest aperture to blur the water, everything is in sharp focus. This fountain would look so cool with a seamless background... not sure how to make that happen...
Update - people like it! Thanks for the comments, I guess an argument could be made in favor of the sharp background :)
Almost forgot - read my blog post about Death Valley iPhoneography.

![_12/04/11_ Jars of Light
I didn't take many photos today. The few that I did grab were out on an evening walk with my wife. For no particular reason (other than we walked by them) we went into a hospital and a Gap store. This is a holiday decoration from the latter.

![_12/03/11_ Silver Balls
Ring a ling... hear them sing...
I'm tired. I just spent 4 days in San Francisco for a conference and 5 days camping in Death Valley before that, with only a 1-day break in between. It's been fun, but yeah... I'm tired.
This is the only photo I took today - a sculpture on the side of the Santa Monica Place mall, where we ended up getting lunch today. It's actually been a photo of the day once before. I I try incredibly hard not to repeat myself with my daily photos, but I think this composition is different enough that it's OK.
In unrelated photo news, I just uploaded 25 new reject photos to Flickr. They're all free for anyone to use as they see fit, provided it's not for commercial use and you give me credit.

![_12/02/11_ Ferry Ceiling
If you tilt your head to the left, you'll see the ceiling of the ferry building as I saw it when I took the photo. I like it better in this orientation - more confusing.
Shortly after I took this photo, I got a Blue Bottle iced coffee (omg delish) and then made my way back to SFO from whence I came a few days earlier. The conference was excellent, and I'm glad I got to squeeze in a teensy bit of sight-seeing while I was there.
Maybe one day we'll actually plan a vacation to San Francisco instead of just being there for other things. I realized this was actually my 4th trip to this awesome city, but I've never had more than 1-2 days for sightseeing and I've never had a car during the stay.
Oh, and in case you missed it, check out my Death Valley Photos! Every one of them is geotagged.

![_12/01/11_ Saint Ignatius
Happy December! It's almost time to say goodbye to 2011. Crazy.
Today I had an opportunity to visit the University of San Francisco, which is home to the stunning St. Ignatius Church, pictured here. I like this shot because the relationship of the different tower heights as well as the great exposure I got, which was due in large part to the sun reflecting off of light-colored buildings behind me and subtly illuminating the back of the church. This is not HDR.
Also, see more Death Valley Photos, just posted a couple days ago.
