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'm not sure why the sandbags are necessary at this relatively new UCLA building, but as you can see they've been well worn. 

[last year] bday feet...
Control Room
Back when it was operational, I guess this is where the controller would sit. They would raise and lower the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Bridge, which is now locked in the 'up' position. Our guide told us that it's a popular spot for wedding/engagement photos. 
It's kind of the ultimate in deteriorated industrial icons.

Ah, the good old days. When remote controls had metal grills and only three buttons. I think my favorite part is how the on/off button doubles as the volume.
I took 25 photos before I decided I liked the lighting enough. The biggest difference came when I wiped off the remote with my shirt - it was pretty dusty. Note to self: clean photo subjects before photographing them. I think that applies equally to both inanimate and human subjects.

Burning Bush
Kruger National Park
This was a controlled burn near the Orpen gate entrance. We saw a lot of past burns throughout the park, so it was interesting to see one in progress.
