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 was in Venice today to get a lovely and overdue haircut, and this sign was in a nearby parking lot. The sun was perfectly highlighting the cracked surface.

![_04/07/11_ Treebute
So, a few days ago the giant coral tree near my work had a large branch break and it fell onto an area where people walk. Since it was a safety hazard, they taped it off and said there would be an emergency tree trimming to take care of the problem. Guess what - they cut most of it down!!! Coral trees are awesome in general (see my 9/20/10 photo) but this one was particularly cool because of its enormous size. Well I suppose it won't be a problem anymore... Ugh.
Anyways, this photo is of the center of the stump that remains from the section they 'trimmed.' I gathered some of the bright red beans/seeds that come from the tree and sprinkled them around as some sort of tribute. I kind of wish the focus was on the bean in the middle, not the one in the hole, but it was tough to get it right with my compact. I like the shallow depth of field though. These beans are so vibrant, I want to do more with them...
Also, thanks for all the comments on yesterday's shot! My wife liked all the extra bday wishes :)
And in other news, I started a tumblr site - jawsnap.tumblr.com. I plan on using it to post photos I really like. It's a good way to share stuff, and it'll be nice to refer to for inspiration.

![_09/14/09_ Cracked
As I mentioned in the caption for Thursday's photo, I would play around with egg shells more the next time I had some lying around. That turned out to be tonight. I spent quite a bit of time setting it up. See setup photos here and here.
I'm quite happy with the result.

![_09/10/09_ Egg Shells
Tomorrow we're having a baby shower/potluck at work, so I made some deviled eggs for it. For a daily photo, I made a little mountain of the used egg shells and lit it from behind with an off-camera flash. A tiny part of the flash was directly visible through the shells and it made a little star pattern because of the small aperture. I really like how the cracks showed up, and I hope to play with that more... the next time I find myself with some extra egg shells.
