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 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.

_06/11/11_ Watch Out for Waves
This was taken at Huntington Beach, where we met some friends for a lovely bonfire on the beach. Around sunset I excused myself to go walk down to the water with my rented Nikkor 300mm f/4. I'm planning on going to the zoo with it tomorrow, to really put it through its paces. I'm pretty impressed with this lens so far, although it might be too heavy for travel so I'm going to rent the 70-300mm to compare.
In this shot, the Huntington Beach Pier is over a mile away. See the shipping cranes in the distance? I didn't notice them at all when I took the photo; they're over 10 miles away.
