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!

Mel & Rose Chef Person
Our 3rd and final planned stop was at ink.sack for lunch but they didn't have a bathroom, which I needed. I walked a few doors down to Mel & Rose, which sells lots of booze and has this guy out front. I bought a Red Bull in exchange for toilet privileges. It came in handy later on.
Templo Santa Muerte
Here's another thing that I didn't know what to make of. Apparently it's like a church? Of death?
I don't know.
_07/24/12_ Swirly Rose
A rose with a twist of the camera. I first tried to twist the rose, but it didn't work because the stem wasn't straight enough. It's not exactly what I was going for, but oh well.

_04/23/12_ Wet Rose
Thanks to a super-thick marine layer, everything was wet this morning. Not the most pleasant thing, but great for photographing wet flowers. I'm not sure this rose could have handled any more moisture.
Shot with iPhone, edited in Lightroom.

_12/25/11_ Sleigh Bouquet
This lovely bouquet belongs to my wife's grandmother, and I decided it would make a cool photo. I used a 1/3s shutter speed and an off-camera flash. After the flash fired, I held the lens steady(ish) and rotated the camera body, which zoomed in and created the light trails from the Christmas tree lights.
I'm happy I spend the time to take this photo, as I thought it was going to end up being another desperation shot. We had 14 people over for dinner today, which went wonderfully! Also, we have way too much food left over. Let me know if you want some pie. I won't send any to you, I'm just curious.

In arbitrary number news, today is my 300th photo of Year 4! Only 66 more to go. Yes, 66.
