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.
![_05/24/12_ Brass Camera
I was really excited to get this new camera, until an evil spirit turned it to brass to spite me. The spirit materialized to mock me, so we fought and I destroyed him with spicy sauce. And yet, the camera remains brass and I know not how to lift the spell.
Some days... you know?

![_05/23/12_ Wine Eye
Tonight required wine, and this was the glass I drank it from. There's always a miniscule amount at the bottom that never makes it into your mouth. I feel like there should be a word for that.
For the shot, I set my compact on the rim with the lens pointing inside, the moved them around together to get the motion.

![_05/22/12_ Three by Three
Much like Friday's photo, this was taken on my way to get takeout for dinner. It wasn't particularly amazing, but the light on the glass looked neat, and I don't believe I've done a photo like this before. It's quite over-processed, mostly by cranking the clarity slider in LR. The square crop was an obvious choice, but it bugs me because I didn't perfectly center the camera, so the lines are skewed just a little. I could fix it in Photoshop, but I'm tired.

![_05/20/12_ Eclipse
Did you see the eclipse? As you can see here, we got a pretty cool view of it in Santa Monica. The marine layer started rolling in right as the moon was reaching its peak coverage of the sun, and you could clearly see the eclipse with your naked eyes.
I walked around the neighborhood looking for something to put the eclipse in context, and found this mockingbird perched on a church building with a bug in its mouth. Tasty.

![_05/19/12_ Bared
This was taken at the Los Angeles Zoo today. These two males were not exactly happy with each other and had quite the tussle. Although the teeth are menacing, they basically just slapped each other.
I can't believe there's a person's head in the photo!! I couldn't tell at all on the camera's LCD. Very frustrating... but the teeth-baring chimp was too cool not to share - it's not like the head is blocking the chimp's head.

![_05/18/12_ Man and Dog
I happened along this fellow while getting take out for dinner, and the scene seemed perfect for a photo of the day. I asked if I could take the photo, but did not disclose the photo-of-the-day nature of it, so I hope it's cool.

![_05/17/12_ Sacred Heart Clock Tower
Today I attended a great conference at LMU - Loyola Marymount University. It's a beautiful campus with a great view. It would have been even better when the nearby area was still wetlands instead of giant apartment buildings. What can I say, Los Angeles sure hates its wetlands.
Anyways, this is the clock tower at the Sacred Heart Chapel, pretty much the central point of campus. The clock is on the other side, in case you were wondering.
