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!

__02/01/11__ Chrysalis
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a monarch butterfly chrysalis. I hope nothing eats it - it's very exposed. 
Overall, I'm a little disappointed in the S95's macro ability. In this shot, the focus is sharp on the plant stalk, but not so much on the chrysalis itself. It's also cropped a bit - the S95's wide angle lens makes it hard to isolate subjects. Still a pretty awesome little camera, though.

In other news, I just posted my piece on water droplet photography! Check it out!

Butterfly Sign
Whoa! That's the biggest butterfly I've ever - nope, just a sign.
Butterflies
The butterflies hang out high up in a eucalyptus grove. They don't appear very vibrant because their wings are all closed, so we only saw the dull underside.

Although there were supposed to be much, much more of them, it was still neat to see these monarchs clumped together.
Fallen Monarch
You can actually walk through this log - it's pretty neat. Old trees in the final stage of development are actually called "monarchs."

Happy Halloween! Sorry I don't have a themed photo for you, but the butterfly is orange, that's in the spirit, right? I brought my SLR to work today and I headed to the same group of flowers I shot yesterday. Sadly, I had to touch up this photo quite a bit, since the butterfly was too dark to stand out very well.
