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!

Thanks to the low tide, I was able to get somewhat close to the barnacle-covered supports underneath the Santa Monica Pier tonight. I liked this photo best, mostly because of the depth of the composition. There were about 5 other photographers there around sunset but most were shooting fellow human beings, not the pier itself. It was a nice sunset - the others probably got some nice shots.
Afterwards, my wife and I grabbed some Mexican food where apparently the bartender was just learning how to make a margarita. In a good way, though - it was like half tequila.

_05/08/11_ Bivalves
This morning my wife and I got up before dawn so we could take in the ocean at the Santa Monica Pier, and maybe I'd sneak in a photo or two. My favorite shot is of these mussels and... scaly things (also a type of mussel? I don't know) that were clinging onto one of the pylons. The tide was obviously low, but on its way back in, so I got a bit wet.  Is it me, or do some of them really look like beaks?
Also, Happy Mothers Day!

UPDATE: Thanks to Stan - the scaly things are called Gooseneck Barnacles. They have a Wikipedia page, so you know he's telling the truth :)
