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!

Here it is, the last photo for 2010. Exactly 60 photos remain until I complete Year 3 and start on Year 4 of this crazy project.
In addition to the last day of the year, it's also our last night in Tucson, and I wanted to get a shot of something from my parents house. I noticed the light bulbs catching the late sun, so I went with that. I like how the vegetation is subtle and blurry, but still recognizable as the desert. I mainly used the B&W Creative - Look 3 preset in Lightroom for editing.
Also - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

![_12/30/10_ Desert Snow
One heck of a winter storm blew through Tucson last night and this morning and dumped lots of snow on the mountains. These are the Rincons, with Spud Rock being the prominent point on the upper right. I hiked the Pink Hill trail in Saguaro National Park East, starting at the end of Broadway Boulevard. I like this shot because of the sunset colors and how well the saguaros stand out against the mountain.
The storm had cleared by the early afternoon, which means it's gonna be crazy cold tonight. It was about 40 degrees when I took this shot and it's about freezing as I type this. It's supposed to get into the low 20s by the time the sun comes up again. Crazy.
[last year] rest in peace, John...](http://www.jawsnap.net/Daily/year3/i-Qf2MgZ3/1/Ti/2010-12-30%20Desert%20Snow-Ti.jpg "_12/30/10_ Desert Snow

![_12/29/10_ Molina's Midway
Tonight I had dinner with my family at our favorite Mexican joint. I was a little disappointed because they seem to have changed their salsa recipe, but otherwise it was good.
I took this shot with my S95 before we braved the rain to go inside. Luckily it wasn't raining hard at the time, and as you may have guessed, we parked near the entrance, since this is their sign.
I hope to get an interesting cold-themed photo for tomorrow - the storm that brought this rain is supposed to give us lows well below freezing tomorrow night.

![_12/28/10_ Nana's Flowers
Today we took a lovely 150 mile drive from the Southeast side of Tucson to the Northwest side of Phoenix where my grandmother lives. We took her out to lunch and then back to her apartment before driving back. I'm pretty done with driving for today.
This giant bouquet was a Christmas gift from my parents. Unfortunately we forgot our gift in Tucson and will have to mail it. Nana is the lady in purple. Any questions? OK!
In other news, I posted a small gallery of Sedona photos! Check em out.

![_12/27/10_ Curved Saw
Want some oranges? I spent my afternoon picking 4 cubic feet of oranges from my mom-in-law's tree. If that strikes you as an odd way to measure quantity of oranges, it's because I filled up four 1'x1'x1' boxes. When I was done picking I decided to start trimming the tree with the saw pictured here. There's still work to be done, but at least none of the branches are growing into the house.
It felt good doing some hard labor, plus I got to climb around in a tree. Now I'm sore, but it's a good kind of sore.
In other news, Thursday's daily has gone up in the rankings! Please vote for me and help it get even higher! Only takes a few seconds.

Today mostly consisted of lunch with friends and a movie with family, not much photography. I got this colorful shot a few minutes after sunset.

![_12/25/10_ Kokopelli Candle
Merry Christmas! And thanks to all the nice comments on yesterday's photo!
My wife and I picked up this candle from the Sedona Candle Company last week. The store is really neat and the employees are cool, I highly recommend stopping by to see them in action.
For this shot, I placed the lit candle on a shiny wood table that was next to my parents' Christmas tree. I set my S95 to manual mode at ISO 80, f/8 (the lowest and smallest) and played with the shutter speed to get the right exposure, which ended up being 2.5 seconds.
By the way, did I mention you can get a free shirt just for voting for me?

![_12/24/10_ Saguaro Santa
Festive, no? Stuff like this makes me feel at home in Tucson.
This saguaro and many like it can be found at Tucson Medical Center, where my wife and I have spent the majority of our time the last three days. My mother-in-law had knee replacement surgery, and we finally got to take her home today! She's been doing great and we're all excited to see her recover and walk without pain.
To those that celebrate and read this tomorrow - Merry Christmas!
By the way, thanks for the comments on yesterday's photo. I'd love to share the link so you can vote on it, but it's not working. Maybe the computers took an early holiday.
