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!

I took a little trip on my bicycle to downtown Santa Monica to get a freeway photo, and here it is. It's not the most super-exciting freeway photo, so I spiced it up with some editing in Lightroom. Nothing too crazy.

![_06/15/12_ Orange Ladder
Here's a construction scene I snapped on my bike ride home. It's part of the 405 widening project - it looks like they're just building a big wall at this section. I liked the single color, the texture, the vertical rods... all that stuff. I tend to like construction scenes, although I feel a little silly taking photos of them sometimes. I'm sure all the cars passing by were wondering what was so interesting about it.

![_07/15/11_ CARMAGEDDON!!!
It is upon us! Hide your kids, hide your wife! For the love of God, STAY HOME! Please people, take heed! It's going to be TERRIBLE!
It's a little early to say, but if LA really does turn into one giant parking lot tomorrow and Sunday, we can't say we weren't warned. I don't think I've ever been as aware of a single event in my entire life as I am about this freeway closure. It's ridiculous.
Luckily I'll be gone for most of it! I'm flying back to Tucson for a birthday party. Stay tuned to see whose it is...
Oh, also, I took this photo today. This sign is underneath the Wilshire/405 underpass, and the lane it refers to is the on-ramp to the 405 South, one of the many ramps that will be closed for Carmageddon. I didn't like the bus in black and white, so I left the red in.

![_03/29/11_ Streaks
For some reason, I really wanted to take a freeway photo today. This is the 10, or "Interstate Ten" or "I-10" as some people call it. Apparently folks from outside Southern California get annoyed when we personify our roads. Or is it objectify? Or something else? I don't know, but that's how people talk here.
Anyways, this was taken in Santa Monica at the 17th Street bridge, close to where it ends and turns into PCH or "Pacific Coast Highway."
You can see what I did to take the photo in this setup photo, or "photograph."
