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!
![_11/12/10_ Hibiscus Closeup
Continuing my non-consecutive theme of Hawaii-themed shots in anticipation of my trip next week, I shot another hibiscus plant in the botanical gardens. This one is Hibiscus arnottianus, native to Oahu and Molokai. The 3rd result on the scientific name on Google is, in fact, a page on the botanical gardens' website, how nice is that? Apparently this species is quite adaptable to SoCal's climate.
I wanted to get some sort of interesting non-standard shot, so I got super close to the flower so there were all sorts of out-of-focus stamens. The pink-on-white is pretty neat, it looks like a peppermint candy reject.
My next plan is to bring my tripod and flash and take detailed shots of the lava rocks that adorn the Hawaii section of the gardens. Hold me to it!

A backlit leaf in the UCLA botanical gardens. I like how you can see the structure of the leaf clearly, but I was bored with the natural colors. How do you like hot pink instead??? It looks like I just inverted the image, but it's actually a gradient map because I didn't like how the inverted photo turned out, but I did like the colors. The image is also heavily cropped.
