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!

Like last year, today was the fun Edible Book Festival at the UCLA Library. I took photos, but I'm not choosing any as my photo of the day. Instead, what you're seeing here is a performance of Trisha Brown's Man Walking Down the Side of a Building, which in this case was performed by a woman - Amelia Rudolph. 
Obviously it was neat to see someone lowered down the side of the building, but the way she appeared to be casually walking in slow motion was really something. You could tell by her face when she reached the bottom that it was no easy feat, although she made it look easy. I also liked the crowd in front that was all laying on the grass looking up at her. Not a bad turnout for a Friday afternoon, but then again, how often do you get a chance to see something like this?

_09/29/12_ Broad Stage
I'm happy to report that after yesterday's stair climb, I can walk just fine! Only minimal soreness. 
Today we went to a Diavolo performance at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica. Go to their website and watch their video, and I'll be damned if you won't be checking their tour dates afterwards. It's hard to describe, and the video doesn't do it justice, but it's mind-blowing. Just amazing.

_04/25/12_ Master
This is my awesome brother as he warmed up before his master recital. He played great, there were a lot of people there, and we're all very proud. 
He ended his recital with Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint, which was pretty mind-blowing. I have since bought a recording and listened to it about 5 times. I highly recommend it, although it was much cooler to see it performed live. All of his pieces were really neat and covered a huge variety of styles. 
I enjoyed taking photos beforehand, and it was reminiscent of his undergraduate recital, which happened back in Year 1 in the same place.
