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!

_10/29/11_ Lone Palm
A less-compelling version of the lone cyprus? I took this rule-of-thirds abiding photograph with my new circular polarizing filter. It's pretty awesome, and I hope to play around with it a little more tomorrow and in the coming weeks. I expect it will come in handy on an upcoming trip to Death Valley.
I wrote a short post about the filter - check it out.

_10/27/11_ Juxtapose
After work I rode my bike down to the ocean before heading home. This gorgeous craftsman first caught my eye because it was catching the sunset, but then I liked it even more in contrast with the high-rise apartments behind it.
I had my fancy new polarizing filter on for this shot, but I'm not sure it really added much to this particular scene. I'm excited to finally play with it, though. I bought a 77mm filter even though I don't own any 77mm lenses, so that I could use step-down filter rings and use it on any lenses in the future. Of course, the store was out of stock of the 77-72 rings and I thought I'd buy one at a different store, but I've been so busy that I never got a chance. So finally, I bought one online and it arrived yesterday. Isn't that just the best story you've ever heard? I thought so.

By the way, I posted a bunch of photos comparing the iPhone 4 camera to the new iPhone 4S. Interested? Read all about it.

_09/10/11_ Palm Trunk
In order to test out my new bike rack and bag, I went on a ride carrying my biggest lens. I definitely noticed the added pounds, but I think it will be good for commuting. I took a few photos, but nothing too exciting - this is looking up at a palm tree zoomed in all the way.

Hey You
Far, far below the road was a kid trying to get our attention - he saw the camera. Of course we took his photo, but I was hoping he would do something interesting.
Sunset
After dinner at Pieter's Place, we walked along the beach to head home.
Palm-lined Street
I'm not terribly happy with how this photo turned out, but there was something almost surreal about this road. It had a nice view, was lined with palm tree and the light was beautiful as the sun started going down. And yet, there were hardly any people around...
