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!

Another so-so iPhone 5 shot. I haven't been able to do a fun comparison like I did with previous iPhone upgrades, but whatever. The iPhone 5's camera doesn't seem remarkably better anyhow.
This was taken about 10 minutes before sunset. If you click Map This, you'll see that this underpass of the 405 has offered many photo opportunities.
In other news, I'm happy to report that I edited and uploaded this photo from my brand new iMac! The last time I got a new computer was on July 7, 2008 and I took a photo of the mouse. It was also an iMac, but this one is so very much better and I like it a lot so far.

![_11/18/12_ Fenced Off
I took a little bike ride this afternoon to help move some blood through my legs. I'm pretty sore after yesterday's 16-mile walk. More photos of that, coming soon!
This is a coral tree in the median of Olympic Blvd. It's fenced off as part of the Expo line construction that will take light rail all the way to downtown Santa Monica. Very exciting, but it will still be years before it's completed. This is a 3-shot vertical panorama, stitched together in Photoshop.

![_07/05/12_ Ripped Apart
I've been at a new hospital a lot lately, and it's very nice. This is the old one that they've been demolishing.
I finally took my SLR and tripod over today to photograph it - AND take video! My D7000 does that, so I played around. Sadly I have almost no storage left on my hard drive, so it may be a little while before I experiment more.
It's amazing though - there's a giant machine with a huge mouth-like claw on the end that basically 'bites' the building and crushes it to demolish it. It's a very tedious process since the building is huge and it's right next to the working hospital. It's incredible to watch though... just wait for the video. It's crazy.

![_06/22/12_ Teeth
This is construction on the 405 freeway, just a few feet from where I took last Friday's photo. It's really more like baleen. I can just imagine commuters falling onto a giant freeway mouth that looks like this. Speaking of which, the RAMPTURE starts tonight. For an entire miserable year, the 8 on/off ramps at the 405/Wilshire interchange will be torn down and rebuilt, 2 at a time for 3 month periods. It's going to suck, and suck hard.
In other news, I got a new camera! I bought a D7000 on eBay and it just arrived this afternoon. This is kind of huge for me - I've never own another DSLR besides my D80 that I bought 5 years ago. I'm pretty stoked.

![_06/15/12_ Orange Ladder
Here's a construction scene I snapped on my bike ride home. It's part of the 405 widening project - it looks like they're just building a big wall at this section. I liked the single color, the texture, the vertical rods... all that stuff. I tend to like construction scenes, although I feel a little silly taking photos of them sometimes. I'm sure all the cars passing by were wondering what was so interesting about it.

![__02/17/12__ Debris Mirror
This shot is from a little photo walk around the neighborhood. There is an abandoned lot and house where I found this mirror next to a pile of junk. We've lived nearby for three years and I don't think the run-down house or overgrown lot has changed much. Maybe they're waiting to flip it when the housing market comes back to 2007 levels. Or... lazy?

Ah, the different colors of light. After years of taking photos, I think I'm starting to get a real handle on it - I could tell this would be a cool photo, even though the colors weren't quite this blue and green to my eyes. The brain does interesting things.
In other news, OMG OMG DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEW D800??? HOLY CRAP. WANT.

![_09/12/11_ Drapes
After driving by many times, I actually stopped to take a photo of this new housing construction right next to UCLA. I thought the huge mass of metal and concrete would make a good photo in general, but I was a little disappointed once I actually started trying to compose a shot. Luckily there was this giant piece of plastic draped over part of the building to add some interest. I played around quite a bit in Lightroom, mainly with the color - I like the blue tint.
My second set of Africa photos is posted! Check it out - Africa, Part 2: Pemba
