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!

This is a single-exposure taken at Santa Monica Place outside the Louis Vuitton store. I hope it's kind of confusing to look at, that was my goal. 
We did actually go inside the store, but I found a much better deal on a shoulder bag (man purse) at TJ Maxx, which did not have any large security guards at the doors. Also, the bag I got was quite reasonably priced and does not look stupid. 
And Happy Mother's Day!

My wife is still in the hospital and will be for a bit longer. It sucks, a lot. 
But, my parents and her mom are in town, and it was a nice break to go out to dinner at one of my favorite places, Buddha's Belly. We parked in the new mall - Santa Monica Place - and walked through it to get to the restaurant, and this was one of the views of it.

_06/16/12_ Mall Seat
This was taken tonight at Santa Monica Place, where I picked up some tea for brewing later, and some ice cream for eating right then. If you're ever there, go to the so-called Market and get ice cream at N'ice Cream. My favorite is n'ice cream delight. It's amazing.
I used my Gorillapod to steady my compact on a ledge that overlooked this scene. I took a lot of shots - some were blurry and some didn't have any interesting motion. I'm a little sad I didn't get a chance to use my new carbon fiber tripod, but since I rode my bike to the mall, it would have been a bit large.

Here you can get a sense of how the tree really dominates the architecture.
_04/17/11_ Escalator Obscured
My mom-in-law rolled into town today and we took her to Santa Monica Place for dinner. The mall is outdoors, and all of the escalators have these coverings over them. I zoomed in so that it's kind of hard to tell what you're looking at.
And if you missed it yesterday, check out my photos from the Malibu Lagoon & Adamson House.
