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!

The Draw Challenge...11/03/08
The Challenge: Create a photo with your interpretation of the word, "Draw."
The Participants: 
Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese,  Creative Deviance, and myself.
The Result:
My interpretation of 'draw' was a hand drawing from a deck of cards. I used an overhead flash with a snoot (best word ever) to direct the light to the hand without illuminating my black background. You can't see it in this shot, but I had the whole deck splayed out and held together with binder clips so they didn't move. Again, thanks to Ann for being such a good sport and being my model! (last week she was my nose model)
The cards are all in order because I thought that was more photogenic. After a few test shots we both agreed that one of the cards needed to stand out. I chose a 3 because it's the 3rd of the month. I made the photo black and white to bring attention to the lighting. 
If I were to shoot this again, I wouldn't put the cards in order by suit, but come up with some other sequence that was significant but subtle. Like using aces as 1's and spelling out pi (3, ace, 4, ace, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, etc). I thought that the colors of the suits would be distracting if they were all mixed up, but I think going grayscale solves that problem.
