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!

2013-05-16 Distorted Shutters
Another sick day desperation shot, this time of some shutters in our bedroom as seen through a textured glass door.

A ghostly abstract of a black, salt-rimmed shot glass. I did not drink out of it, but we did have margaritas tonight. Yay for underdog military victories. 

[last year] still waiting on the lottery...
2013-04-23 Eye Hole
Desperation shot for one of my Photojojo University assignments! We had to use a DIY filter for our iPhones, so I chose a colored glass tumbler and pointed it at myself while making faces. So... yeah.

[last year] super dew-y...
2013-03-25 Colored Windows
After only a single full day, we headed back to LA. This photo is from the terminal in Tucson. It was a quick trip, but we packed some great things into it, including meeting yesterday's subject.

2013-03-17 Green Drink
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I celebrated by sharing a cup of green Bailey's with my wife. It was tasty. We're pretty low-key people for the most part, unlike the people that were at a nearby pub that opened at 8am today.
For this photo I wanted the glow of the green liquid, so I chose transparent water rather than opaque irish cream. But it's still green, and that's the important part. 
Did you know green is the official color of St. Patrick? It's because it's the opposite color of snakes. 

[last year] My mom-in-law's desktop background! At least it was last time I saw her computer...
2013-03-15 Water Shapes
I made this image by spinning a glass of water around and pointing my camera at it while the off-camera flash fired. It's no Clark Little, but I do like the look of the water. It's quite a desperation shot, I feel like there's a lot of potential here - different liquids, different spinning vessels, different backgrounds, color, multiple flashes...

2013-03-12 Grasping
Waaaaaay too much work went into this. 
My computer handled the rather large all-RAW 36-layer Photoshop file quite nicely, though, so that was cool. My old iMac would have exploded, I'm quite certain.

2013-03-08 Shiny Building
Taken right around sunset after a "wacky" weather day as the LA Times put it. Mostly it rained, but it cleared up in time for sunset.

A tea candle holder filled with bubbles! Everyone likes bubbles.
