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 Thursday, 3/1, 2012 through Thursday, 2/28, 2013.
![_10/06/12_ Santa Monica Pier
I never mind coming back here for more photos. Today was a gorgeous sunset, followed by some bright pink dusk clouds. As another photographer on the scene said - awe-inspiring.
My plan was to use my graduated ND filter, but I didn't need it - this is just my bare lens and various adjustments in Lightroom. I spent a lot of time cleaning up dust spots, thanks to a horribly dirty sensor. I really need to get it cleaned this week.

![_10/05/12_ Cross Stitch
The square piece of fabric was stitched by my grandmother, who was very good at her craft. I'm not sure what this piece was for, it seems like it's a sample of patterns or something. Regardless, we thought it was fun and decided to put it in a frame, which you see here. It seemed appropriate for a selective color photo, which is quite rare for me.

![_10/04/12_ Tree
This big eucalyptus caught my eye on my bike ride home from work today, and I stopped to take some photos. Quite a few actually, and then I used AutoStich to stitch them together into what you see here.

This fountain seems to have had some issues in the past...

![_10/02/12_ Chain
A chain in a parking lot. They recently installed the chains, which block off a small part of the parking lot. Why? I don't know. I'm not even sure how the cars get in and out of the chained-in area.

![_10/01/12_ Crown
I'm worth more than I was yesterday, because I am now partially made of gold. Whoopee!
I don't think I've ever done a daily photo at the dentist, but I wasn't letting this one get away. If you've had a crown before, you know that the prep is not fun. Due to my tooth being the farthest back and decayed more than expected, I basically had to go through that twice - two 2-3 hour appointments about 3 weeks apart. Today I got the temporary removed and the real one put on, so I hope to not go back to the dentist for many months. Many, many months.

![_09/30/12_ Birthday Girl
This diva of a dog is Daisy. Her owner had a little party today, and the theme was Daisy's birthday. It was fun!

![_09/29/12_ Broad Stage
I'm happy to report that after yesterday's stair climb, I can walk just fine! Only minimal soreness.
Today we went to a Diavolo performance at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica. Go to their website and watch their video, and I'll be damned if you won't be checking their tour dates afterwards. It's hard to describe, and the video doesn't do it justice, but it's mind-blowing. Just amazing.

![_09/28/12_ Top of Los Angeles
This photo was taken from the 72nd floor of the US Bank building in downtown Los Angeles, were me and thousands of other stair climbers gathered after making it all the way to the top - 75 stories, 1005 feet, and 1679 steps above the city below. It's the tallest building west of the MIssissippi and I feel very accomplished to get to the top!
The event is a fundraiser for the YMCA - www.ymcastairclimb.org - and my team from work raised over $1k for them, so that's cool.
I'm very happy that I kept a good pace and don't feel particularly worn out, and in general it wasn't as difficult as I had feared. I was a tiny bit disappointed that we weren't allowed on the helipad like the alien-loving hippies in Independence Day that get blown up, but I'll survive. Overall I had a great time and am excited to do it again next year.

_10/06/12_ Santa Monica Pier
I never mind coming back here for more photos. Today was a gorgeous sunset, followed by some bright pink dusk clouds. As another photographer on the scene said - awe-inspiring.
My plan was to use my graduated ND filter, but I didn't need it - this is just my bare lens and various adjustments in Lightroom. I spent a lot of time cleaning up dust spots, thanks to a horribly dirty sensor. I really need to get it cleaned this week.
