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!

__02/03/13__ Lone Tree
This tree is perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. It's not really as serene as you might think, as it's in the middle of Palisades Park in Santa Monica, with lots of people and cars and buildings and roads and sand before you actually get to the ocean. I knelt down low to cut out everything but the flowers, tree and sky. Because I was forced to get close to the tree because of a fence, I used the iPhone's panorama function to get the wide shot. I wish I could have gotten a horizontal view, but the dynamic range with the setting sun was too much. 

I'm expecting something fun tomorrow. Some major photography equipment that will bring some major changes for me. I'm very much looking forward to it. Stay tuned.

Brachiasaurus
Perhaps a bit too big to display indoors, this enormous brachiasaurus skeleton is on the west side of the Field museum.
Totem Face
Stanley Field Hall
This is the main hall of the Field museum, where you can see Sue, some elephants, and some totem poles.
I was able to balance my camera on a ledge and use a slow shutter speed, which is why many of the people are blurry.
Sue
Sue is the famous T-Rex that greeted us as we entered the Field museum. She's the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever discovered.
I thought it was neat that these are her actual bones on display, except for missing pieces and the skull. The real skull is too heavy to mount, but it's on display upstairs.
Dirt Road Dusk
NW of Orange City
After the sun set, we drove around on some of the unpaved roads outside of the city. We saw a pheasant, a fire and two dead pigs. Weird.
Tire Sign
Field North of Orange City
This field had these 'no hunting' tires up and down the sides of it. We saw a few pheasants, but otherwise I'm not sure what you'd hunt, and isn't it obvious that you can't hunt on someone's field?
Poppies
Another view of the poppy field just outside the reserve. This was far better than anything inside the reserve.
Sutter Buttes 
An empty field with the Sutter Buttes in the background. They're the only non-flat thing in the central valley.
