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!

Up on the clarity, down on the vibrance. Those are the main two sliders to adjust in LR to get this look. Oooh. Aaah.
This is the ramp out of the Whole Foods parking lot, where we picked up a few necessities. I was desperate for a photo, and I thought this was a cool scene, leaving up into blackness. I wish I'd gotten a lower point of view, however.

[last year] disappointing, but I got to see her speak later and it was awesome...

This is a scene from the Los Angeles Zoo. Not the one that currently houses animals, but the old one that was open from 1912 through 1965. According to the sign, this and the other structures were built by the WPA in the 1930s. They're pretty pitiful by today's standards - lots of metal bars and concrete. Many of the cages seem shockingly small, but then again, I have no idea what animals were living in any particular enclosure. In general, though, they're definitely smaller than any zoo I've been to. It's a fascinating place to explore, and makes you really appreciate modern facilities. 
This particular photo was taken in one of the larger exhibits, which I assume held big cats or bears. These stairs led up from the public view, up to where the animals presumably slept at night and got fed.
