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!

Giant Spider Crab
(Macrocheira kaempferi)
I highly recommend making several passes of your favorite exhibits. The first time I went by the spider crabs, they were all in the back, but when I came back an hour or two later, this guy was right up against the glass. Off-camera flash provided the illumination.
West Coast Sea Nettle
(Chrysaora fuscescens)
I like the sweeping shape of this jelly, I just wish I could have gotten the whole thing.

I love how the background is illuminated in this shot - at first I just thought it was a neat texture and didn't realize it was all tentacles.

Lighting thanks to off-camera flash. This tank is curved, so it's hard to get a good shot in general. Being able to control the lighting is huge.
Extreme close up of a starfish in the touch tank. In previous years my best shots came from the touch tank, but this year the water was too ripply to get a clear shot of most of the animals.
Frilled Anemone
(Metridium senile)
I got to see two divers go into one of the larger tanks and demonstrate some underwater photography. One of them had a huge SLR rig with strobes, and the other had a simple point and shoot with a waterproof case. There were quite a few of these fish, but this one in particular just loved the bubbles. It wouldn't leave the divers alone.
Ripples of coral
The bright yellow fin of the fish that's also in the preceding photograph.
