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!

__01/24/12__ Tokens
These red and blue wooden pieces are 'tokens' in Patolli, A Game of Ancient Mexico. Apparently it really was played by ancient Aztecs - there's all sorts of documentation and drawings in a booklet that accompanies the game. How do you play? I have no idea, I just skimmed it enough to see that these pieces are called tokens.
I hope some of you appreciate the extra step I took to make this photo a little more interesting. Can you spot it?

[last year] still surprised how creepy this came out...
Baby Monkey Eating
Tremisana Game Lodge
Aww, so cute.
Monkey Stare
Tremisana Game Lodge
This monkey looks kind of pissed, like I was too close to his tree.
Long Tail
Tremisana Game Lodge
Typical monkey, hanging out in a tree.
Monkey
Tremisana Game Lodge
At Tremisana there is some nice vegetation that gets watered, including a fairly large tree that these monkeys live in. Apparently they go out into the bush during the day, but always return at night where they're behind a big electric fence. They're not dumb.
This is a Road?
Balule Game Reserve
Kruger National Park has paved roads and nice dirt roads. This is the typical road in the private game reserve. This is why safaris use land cruisers and land rovers - anything else would be sorely inadequate.
Sand Grouse
Balule Game Reserve
A pair of these beautiful yellow-eyed birds stayed still for quite a few seconds right next to the land cruiser, allowing for some nice close ups.
Lying in Wait
Balule Game Reserve
After we basically chased the croc into the water, it stayed just offshore, watching us in typical crocodile fashion. A couple times it silently disappeared below the water and our guide showed us that you can still tell where it is by the sediment it stirred up, even though the surface of the water stayed perfectly flat.
He had us stand behind him while we watched this.
