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!

OH HELL YES WE JUMPED OUT OF IT!!!
My wife's birthday is coming up and with all we went through last year she wanted to do something fun and crazy, and picked skydiving. It was amazing and I'd love to do it again. We went with Skydive Coastal California based out of the Camarillo Airport.
We were both nervous, of course, but mostly excited. The scariness of freefall lasted about 1 second for me, and then it was all adrenaline. As fun as that was, I actually enjoyed it more once the parachute opened because I got to control it and spin around and the wind wasn't trying to blow the skin off of my face.
We followed it up with a delicious dinner in Ventura at Bombay where the Shoemaker Brothers were playing. What a great day.

![_09/21/12_ Endeavour Arrival
Today's my birthday, and NASA sent me a Space Shuttle! Jealous?
It was a really fun shared experience today, both online and in person. I took the day off for various mostly-birthday reasons, and after a delicious breakfast at Milo & Olive my wife and I headed down to the Santa Monica pier to see the shuttle fly in after it's journey around the Bay Area. This photo was actually taken on the 2nd pass. I like how the clouds look, which is largely thanks to post processing. It was still flying around when we got home, and so we were able to watch it land for the last time ever at LAX. It's been a pretty cool birthday.

![_12/11/11_ Cabin
After less than 48 hours in Charlotte (Matthews, actually) we got back in a plane for the journey home. It was fun to see all of the family at the wedding! I hope we stay a little longer next time we fly all the way across the country.
This is the cabin of the plane, as we were waiting to take off, nothing too special. We did see Donald Sutherland at LAX, though! That was kind of exciting. The man's hair glows white like a near-death experience.

![_05/15/11_ Snow Capped
After a quick trip to Denver for my sister's graduation, we hopped on a plane and flew back to Los Angeles this morning. Luckily we'll see her again in 2 days, since she's staying with us for a night before flying to Hawaii - her family's gift to her. Yep, we're awesome.
Anyways, these are the Rocky Mountains, as you may have guessed. I like how the clouds are filling in all the canyons. I-70 is actually running the length of the foreground canyon that spans the image.
Like pretty much all airplane photos, I had to add a lot of contrast, and I decided to mimic the actual color by using split toning. I was seated over the wing, so I was lucky to get this view when the pilot banked to the right - otherwise the engine was in the way.

This was supposed to be a sunset, but the plane didn't clear the cloud bank until 10-15 minutes afterwards. The flight was Denver to Omaha - I'll be spending some time with my wife's family in Iowa. Stay tuned for tomorrow's photo to see why...
Oooh, suspenseful!
