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!

Desperation shot of the fence-type-thing around the federal building near UCLA. I used the high-contrast blue filter in Lightroom to darken the grass. I really need to use my big camera again...

A lovely double helix sort of shape and shadow over a newly painted blue wall.

_12/21/12_ Apocalypse Blue
The only photo I took today. It has not been a good day. 
I didn't take it with this in mind, but it is a little end-of-days - like the massive sun explosion blew off the heads of these two palm trees.

_07/16/12_ Blue Entry
It looks like an entry to the building, but you can't actually go in here. It's kind of strange.

[last year] rest in peace, Dorothy...
_06/24/12_ Generator
What I think is the backup generator at the hospital where my wife is staying. She's doing a little better and her mom flew in today.
I got the super-saturated sky by holding my polarized sunglasses in front of the lens. I really like the simplicity of the structure and the color palate.

__02/04/12__ Armen
This is another fellow student from the Environmental Portraiture class I'm taking. This photo doesn't really match the assignment for today's photo shoot, but it's still my favorite, therefore it's my photo of the day. I mean, look at that wall! And the color contrast with his shirt! And that great smile!
The lighting is a single bounced flash.

__01/30/12__ Azul
In case you're wholly unfamiliar with the Spanish language and don't know how to use the internet very well, I'll tell you. Azul means blue. As in Casa Azul, the blue house where I ate dinner tonight. It was pretty awesome, although my margarita was a bit strong, considering I was about to go to my photo class for 3 hours. Staying awake was a bit tough towards the end.

_12/16/11_ Shiny Sparkly
This is one of many similarly bright-colored tiny ornaments for our tiny Christmas tree that we bought this year. Only three more [work] days until I'm done at for 2011...
