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!

Templo Santa Muerte
Here's another thing that I didn't know what to make of. Apparently it's like a church? Of death?
I don't know.
I got to see two divers go into one of the larger tanks and demonstrate some underwater photography. One of them had a huge SLR rig with strobes, and the other had a simple point and shoot with a waterproof case. There were quite a few of these fish, but this one in particular just loved the bubbles. It wouldn't leave the divers alone.
The bright yellow fin of the fish that's also in the preceding photograph.
This incredibly large fish was quite shy, and just barely poked out from the side of a large tank from time to time. I noticed it swam in the same pattern, so I was able to anticipate it.
Man, Fish, Gull
A seagull (lakegull?) decided to join the man and fish outside the Shedd aquarium. It's a pretty odd sculpture in general, but the gull definitely added to it.
_04/05/12_ Rainbow Fish
Today was the lovely Edible Book Festival at the UCLA Library. Treats from it have been featured as photos of the day before on 4/1/09 and 4/1/11. This is my favorite photo from the day, which I lit with my softbox, before I decided to give up on it because it was a pain to carry around.
This cake is based off of The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister. It's a children's book, in case you weren't sure. It won the award for Best Student Entry! I truly enjoyed eating a little bit of all of the entries, although it really wasn't a good idea to skip a real lunch. Talk about a sugar coma...

Fish Market
And still more fish at the Banguia market.

Thumbs Up
This guy was super happy to get his photo taken, although he doesn't have much to show. A few tables over a guy had a giant fish that looked like a tuna, but he didn't want me to take a photo - he just wanted me to buy it.
