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!

2013-05-19 Old Brick Building
These two buildings are near the Trader Joe's where we got some food today. The metal panels on the left building were what caught my eye, but I ended up just using it to fill half the frame (yes, it's lined up perfectly in the middle) with a grainy reflection of the building on the right.

2013-05-01 Lounge Chairs
Today, I got the lovely opportunity to visit the Chancellor's residence for a an intimate cello/piano recital. They have these great old lounge chairs by the small pool. Some ducks were there, too. 
That's a good story.

2013-04-01 Light Streaks
Quick shot of some interesting light in New York City. 
April fools! It's Los Angeles, cause that's where I live. Gotcha.

2013-03-31 Water Cross
Happy Easter!
We bought some plants today at a nursery that was right next to the Chinese Baptist Church of West LA (CBCWLA), featuring this awesome cross fountain.

2013-03-27 Arches & Clock
I took some photos of the gorgeous Powell Library this afternoon, and this is my favorite, probably because I'm a sucker for symmetry. The clock was originally much higher on the wall, so I moved it down for a more pleasing composition. Cheating? Yeah... pretty much. 
jawsnap trivia: this clock also made an appearance on 2009-03-23. 

Yesterday's photo was of a baluster! What a strange word!

2013-03-20 Tree Shadows
This photo was a quick shot as I left work. I liked the simplicity of the brick patio with the trunk of one tree and the shadows of another. 
BUT!!! There was something getting in the way of the simplicity and I used Photoshop to remove it. Can you tell where it was? Hopefully not. 
If I've stumped you, check out the original photo on my Instagram feed. I started Instagram to post un-retouched photos that sometimes become photos of the day. Deal with it. 

Also, happy first day of spring!

[last year] holy happy...
2013-03-18 Steps
Some grainy, deteriorating steps at the Westwood Brewing Company, where a handful of us grabbed a drink after work.

2013-03-14 Dormant Wall
Eh, I'm not super-excited about this photo, but I've passed this wall covered in vines many times before and it always catches my eye! Soon enough the vines will spring back. Get it?

Update: Living Wall

[last year] love how this turned out...
