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!

I liberated this fantastic piece of metal from a typewriter slated for the trash bin. I set in on a hard drive platter that I still had lying around from Tuesday's photo. I like how the characters actually appear correctly in the reflection - right side up and not flipped. I also like how unmistakably metallic it is.
The hardest part about creating this photo was the prep work. I spent a good 15 minutes bent over the sink with a toothbrush to scrub all of the ink out of the numerous and tiny crevices.
Update for RuSu - Indeed! It came from an IBM Correcting Selectric II. What a great name.
2nd update - Apparently it's called a typewheel.

After a long day of conferencing, a coworker and I headed to Chinatown to get dinner at the fabulous House of Nanking. On the walk back, I grabbed this shot of one of their highly stylized lamps.
In other news, I posted a bunch more Death Valley Photos in their very own gallery. Give 'em a look.
