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!

_09/04/12_ Barnacle & Plant
According to the lady I bought this from, the barnacle shell is from the Phillipines, where the barnacles themselves are a delicacy. The plant is a type of tillandsia. It is an epiphyte, meaning it does not require soil and gets its moisture from the air.
I bought it at the Wednesday farmers market in Santa Monica a couple months back, from a woman who raises the plants and sticks them in the shells she gets from her 'shell guy' - there were all different sizes and I liked almost all of them. It's a pretty cool idea. I also got this one from her.

[last year] I remember this one because about 10 people on the sidewalk next to me also looked up to see what I was taking a photo of...
_12/18/11_ Barnacled
Thanks to the low tide, I was able to get somewhat close to the barnacle-covered supports underneath the Santa Monica Pier tonight. I liked this photo best, mostly because of the depth of the composition. There were about 5 other photographers there around sunset but most were shooting fellow human beings, not the pier itself. It was a nice sunset - the others probably got some nice shots.
Afterwards, my wife and I grabbed some Mexican food where apparently the bartender was just learning how to make a margarita. In a good way, though - it was like half tequila.

Barnacles
A concrete column that holds an elevated pipe was pretty well covered. The tide was coming in when I was there - you can see about how high it gets.
