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!
![__01/27/13__ Observing LA
Today was the last day with my rented ultra-wide lens, and I headed up to Griffith Observatory to take advantage. It was kind of a disaster of a trip beginning with horrible traffic and ending with a locked gate at the exit. But despite that and everything in between, I got some good shots. This one shows the big center dome that houses the planetarium along with a glimpse of the amazing view that you get from this spot.

![__02/26/12__ Ascent
This is a scene from the Los Angeles Zoo. Not the one that currently houses animals, but the old one that was open from 1912 through 1965. According to the sign, this and the other structures were built by the WPA in the 1930s. They're pretty pitiful by today's standards - lots of metal bars and concrete. Many of the cages seem shockingly small, but then again, I have no idea what animals were living in any particular enclosure. In general, though, they're definitely smaller than any zoo I've been to. It's a fascinating place to explore, and makes you really appreciate modern facilities.
This particular photo was taken in one of the larger exhibits, which I assume held big cats or bears. These stairs led up from the public view, up to where the animals presumably slept at night and got fed.

![_11/12/11_ LA Night Sky
Had a fun day hanging out with a visiting friend in Hollywood, afterwards we ended up at Griffith Observatory. I love my wife - we went here mainly so I could take a photo. And I didn't even have my big camera!
Roads of interest - the near-vertical well-lit street on the right is Normandie, flanked by Western on the right and Vermont on the left. The bright complex along Vermont is Kaiser Permanente, at the intersection with Sunset. You can see Sunset trail off towards downtown LA with all the tall buildings.
