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!

By wonderful coincidence, we got to meet my friends' 5 month old today while we were both visiting Tucson at the same time. She is quite adorable, as you can see here. I really like this smile I got!

So if you read the caption for yesterday's photo and followed the link, you saw how I replaced part of the brick patio in Photoshop. I'd never done much with the content-aware features in CS6, but I was intrigued. So today, I took a snapshot of myself and replaced everything except my eyes and the background using content-aware fill. I like the result, and I did have to play around to see what selections I needed to make so it didn't get too crazy on me.

Waaaaaay too much work went into this.
My computer handled the rather large all-RAW 36-layer Photoshop file quite nicely, though, so that was cool. My old iMac would have exploded, I'm quite certain.

![__02/09/13__ Engagement
Our friends Alex and Binh are engaged! Fun stuff. Alex called all sorts of family and friends and had us show up at this restaurant, where he brought Binh after proposing. Apparently she had no idea, it was kind of fun.
Oh, and of course I didn't have my fancy new camera with me... oh well.

![__02/06/13__ Hand Eye
My first daily photo with my new D600! The .nef file is 27mb. Yikes.
Anyways, this is Sam, who I noticed wearing a fun ring with an eyeball and I thought of taking this photo. After work she obliged to be my subject and luckily the sun hadn't quite gone down yet. I like how the sunlight is catching her but the background is already in the shade. It's a subtle difference, I think it worked out well. Just a few minutes later the sun was gone.
I had thought this photo would either be funny or creepy but looking at it now, it doesn't seem either. But I like it.

![_12/06/12_ Novelty
Self portrait wearing some really snazzy sunglasses complete with mustache. Kinda redundant in my case.

My wife at Big Bear Lake after sunset. It was really nice to be there and see the beauty of the place. It had been a long time since either of us had been to the mountains.

![_11/22/12_ Thanksgiving Portrait
This is my wife and I before heading out to Thanksgiving dinner at Big Bear Lake. It's a bit engagement-portrait-y, but it was fun.
In past years we've done some major trips around Thanksgiving, because it's also around our wedding anniversary. This year was a bit more low-key and did not include any national parks. It was pretty relaxing though, and we'd never been to Big Bear before. It's quite a fun mountain town, and it's much bigger than I thought.
WIll be posting a gallery of photos soon.

![_09/01/12_ Bonding
This father/son pair looked like they had fun watching the giant waves roll in. This is about as far out as most people got - there is a high surf advisory this weekend and the water was pretty crazy.

By wonderful coincidence, we got to meet my friends' 5 month old today while we were both visiting Tucson at the same time. She is quite adorable, as you can see here. I really like this smile I got!
