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!

_12/26/12_ Baboquivari Sunset
This was taken from the Babad Do'ag lookout along Catalina Highway, which takes you up to Mount Lemmon near Tucson. Baboquivari peak is the prominent peak in the far mountain range, with the city of Tucson in the foreground. All of those names (including Tucson) are originally from the Tohono O'odham language.
Now that my wife is out of the hospital and doing much better, it was nice to go on a little photo excursion. Before yesterday, all my daily photos had been iPhone shots for 1.5 weeks. Not that that's bad... but it's indicative of photography being pushed pretty far down on the priority list.

_12/30/11_ Yellow Balloon
This lovely yellow balloon was floating around as we left Tucson this morning to make the lovely drive back to Los Angeles. I took this photo at Dunkin' Donuts while my wife went inside to buy fuel for the trip. Directly under the balloon is Mount Lemmon (9157ft / 2791m), the highest point in the Santa Catalina mountains. I did a bit of editing with the color and such.

[last year] so cold...
_04/12/09_ Avalon Dock
Happy Easter! I am spending the day with my wife and mother-in-law on Catalina Island. We came over to Avalon yesterday, spend the night in Hotel St. Lauren, and are heading back this afternoon.
I got up early to take photos of the sunrise, and this is my favorite because of the simplicity, lighting, shapes, and DOF. It's one of the wood docks where the passenger ships come in. No one was around and the gate wasn't closed, so I just walked on down.

Parasailer (is that a word?)

Mercedes Unimog!
This is what drove us around the island.
