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!

Wow, my legs are tired. My wife and I walked to the end of the Venice Beach pier from our house today - about 10 miles round trip. We did it in anticipation of a 19-mile walk next weekend - The Great Los Angeles Walk. We have a friend that's done the walk before, but this will be our first time. During it's short existence the walk has gone from downtown to the ocean, using various routes. This year is mostly along Hollywood and Santa Monica boulevards.
Near the beginning of the walk, I took this picture of the bluffs in Santa Monica along PCH. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to shower and put my feet up.

Cliff Castle
Do I have to mention that this is worth a stop? Cause it is.
Montezuma Castle
Again, a misnomer - it was built by the Sinagua people that disappear around 1400. This site is obviously impressive - it's a 4-story structure built 100 feet into a cliff!!! It's about 10 miles South along I-17 from Montezuma Well.
As a preservation effort, the park service restored some of the walls a few years ago using the same materials that the Sinagua would have used to build it, primarily mud from Beaver Creek. That's why the lower sections are a different color - the mud is relatively fresh.

Today we left Sedona and headed South to Tucson. Along the way, we stopped at Montezuma Well and Montezuma Castle, about 10 miles apart. Both are misnomers, named by early settlers that thought they were Aztec when, in fact, the Aztecs never made it this far North. They were built by the Sinagua people, who vanished from the area 500-600 years ago for reasons unknown.
This is obviously the 'castle', not the well. It's 100 feet off the ground and would have had ladders to get to it when it was in use. Other ruins are nearby, but none as spectacular as these - 4 levels built straight into the cliff.
I'll post more photos in a separate gallery, but in case you're wondering what the well is - it's a sinkhole that's fed by underground springs, so there's constant water at the bottom. Sinagua ruins are all around the rim, as well as inside the well. Both stops are just minutes from I-17 and they're well worth the stop. 

More photos!

Hawaii Day 4
After a delicious breakfast at Big City Grill, we left Oahu and flew to the Big Island. We rented a car and drove around the South side of the island to our vacation rental on Pahoa. At least I hope we did - we're still driving as I type this.
On the drive there we stopped at South Point where people were jumping off cliffs into clear blue water. This marks the Southernmost point of Hawaii and therefore the United States. We also stopped at the Punalu'u black sand beach, which was awesome and really confused my camera's metering system :)

More Hawaii Photos!

_06/26/10_ Footprints
My parents are in town! We met them at Paradise Cove for breakfast and took a little stroll on the beach. Later we had a picnic dinner at Point Vicente in Palos Verdes - such a beautiful area! We'd never been to the peninsula before, but we'll definitely be back. We saw a pod of dolphins! As far as photography goes I was sad it was overcast all day, but it kept us nice and cool.
I didn't realize until I uploaded this photo that my wife is getting splashed in it. Also, the black dots on the horizon are paddle boarders.
