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!

Happy Earth Day!
We went on a short hike this morning and saw nature in action - some California newts doing some reproducing. Although I think there are 7 newts in this photo, only two of them are actually mating and the rest are other males that want in on the action. At least that's what I read online.
We actually saw two of these scenes! Spring is in the air I guess.
This photo turned out OK, but most of the ones I took were throwaways because of reflection and distortion issues from shooting through the surface of the water.

Africa Trip, Day 5
This is an 8-shot panorama of the area just east of the J. G. Strijdom Tonnel that leads to Kruger. We stopped there on our way back to Johannesburg to take photos, stretch legs and buy some crafts. The canyon walls had a vibrant green color on the rocks and there's even a waterfall - very scenic.
It was awesome to spend time in the bush and meet other international travelers, but we're happy to be back in a city.
Tomorrow we fly to Mozambique to start the next phase of our adventure! I might not update for a while, but stay tuned...
More trip photos!

![_05/29/11_ Escondido Falls
Impressive waterfall in Escondido Canyon. A very easy and pleasant trail takes you to a small falls after about 1.5 miles, but then you can do a little bit of climbing to get to the upper falls (pictured here) which involves holding onto a rope to get past a steep muddy spot and some light bouldering. In case you're wondering - yes, I was standing in the water to take this photo.
Here's a 360 degree view of the falls, taken with the Photosynth iPhone app - http://bit.ly/mOWMHv

![_05/22/11_ Skull Rock
I can't imagine how it got the name.
This was at the apex of a hike that I did with my wife this morning at Temescal Canyon. We went early, so there weren't too many people. It was overcast and hazy, so the views weren't great, but the wildflowers made up for it. I almost posted a shot of some flowers, but decided this was cooler. It's like the old creepy man of the mountain, looking out over the McMansions.
Don't forget to checkout my setup blog post on yesterday's shot!

Desert Holly
Twenty Mule Team Canyon
We learned about the desert holly, one of the few plants adapted to survive the extreme heat of Death Valley. Its leaves turn away from the sun during the day, and it only flowers in winter - it's polinated by the wind, since there are almost no insects around.
