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!

_05/04/12_ This Way
I went minimalist today. The parking lot near our house got paved and painted this morning, and it was all taped off for it to dry. I knew that as soon as cars started driving on it, it would never have the dramatic, unspoiled black and white contrast, so I took a photo. Not exactly glamorous, but interesting. To me, anyways.

_10/13/11_ Moving Forward
As many of you are probably aware, iOS 5 was released yesterday. One of the most significant features is that you can now activate a new iPhone or iPad without ever connecting it to a computer, and your most crucial stuff will still be backed up via iCloud. This means you can use a portable device like this without owning a "real" computer, and for people that don't like technology, that's awesome. Even for people that would never get rid of a "real" computer, it still allows a lot more freedom. Believe me, it's a significant event in the history of personal computing.
Another neat feature is the ability to get to the camera on your iPhone from the lock screen, and to be able to use the volume-up button as a shutter release. This is the first photo I took using that button, but it certainly won't be the last. I'm not sure I'll ever use the button on the screen again...

_05/11/10_ Street Trash
Not a very picturesque photo today - it's a shopping cart filled with trash, next to an on ramp for the 405 South. I liked the shadows, and it was pretty random to find a shopping cart completely filled with trash.

[last year] I should really revisit this tree as a subject...
