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!
![_05/08/11_ Bivalves
This morning my wife and I got up before dawn so we could take in the ocean at the Santa Monica Pier, and maybe I'd sneak in a photo or two. My favorite shot is of these mussels and... scaly things (also a type of mussel? I don't know) that were clinging onto one of the pylons. The tide was obviously low, but on its way back in, so I got a bit wet. Is it me, or do some of them really look like beaks?
Also, Happy Mothers Day!
UPDATE: Thanks to Stan - the scaly things are called Gooseneck Barnacles. They have a Wikipedia page, so you know he's telling the truth :)

![__02/02/11__ Tentacle
I try to stay modest, but damn, I made a good dinner tonight. It involved frying a seafood mix we got from the farmer's (fisherman's?) market last weekend. I'm not sure if this tentacle is a squid or octopus, but the mix had smaller whole squids, mussels, and shrimp, too. Put it over rice with a lemon-rosemary sauce and roasted romanesco and garlic bread on the side. Wash it down with some delicious white wine.
Yum.
While you sit and ponder my weeknight culinary awesomeness, why not glance at my water droplet photography blog post?
In other news, I'll be in New Orleans a week from today. Any photography or touristy suggestions?

![_04/05/10_ Mussel Shell
Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife! Her mom's in town to celebrate with us, and we drove to Paradise Cove in Malibu to get some delicious breakfast. Afterwards we walked down the beach to some rocks and tide pools. I'm happy this shot turned out, because it was taken on faith - I wasn't actually looking through the viewfinder.
After breakfast we drove to the Getty Center but got turned away becuase there was no parking. That was a bummer, but we went to LACMA instead and had a great time! We ended the day with a sushi dinner and gourmet cupcakes.
