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!

It rained a lot today, but mostly cleared up in the afternoon, so I thought it'd be a good time to take the ol' camera down to the beach for sunset. I had trouble parking because of the LA Marathon happening tomorrow, and the sunset itself was pretty much a bust.
I took this shot on the bank of an outlet that was being eroded away with every incoming wave. Because the outgoing drainage was meeting the incoming sea, there were a lot of interesting patterns in the water when I used a slow shutter speed. Not interesting enough in themselves, however, so I framed this shot with the Santa Monica pier and more of the sky, which was also interesting. This view is looking northwest, towards Malibu at the foot of the Santa Monica mountains.

This cool wrinkly rock is on it's way to becoming beach sand in a few thousand (?) years.The surrounding cliffs are also made up of crazy layers of rocks and sand, in various states of erosion. In the distance is Point Dume, which marks the northernmost point of the Santa Monica bay. I drove there this morning for the sunrise, which never came - too much marine layer.
I do like this shot, but it'd be so much better if I had an ND filter so I could use a longer shutter speed and really blur the water. I should really just buy one... anyone have a recommendation?
In related news, I posted a new collection of Reject Photos to my Flickr page, including a few more from today!
In other news, I finished up a new blog post about the Nikon 70-300mm lens I just bought!
