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!

__01/29/13__ Sea Glass
I collected this sea glass with my mom and mom-in-law back when my wife was in the hospital. We had gone out to breakfast near the beach (to a favorite place of my wife, where we went when she got out) and for whatever reason, there was tons of sea glass. I collected a handful, but I haven't seen any since then.
The pieces were arranged by yours truly, after dumping them on this black foam board. I wasn't really going for a particular shape, but I think it looks like an anatomical heart. 

[last year] this plant almost died, but we brought it back...

I like the sweeping shape of this jelly, I just wish I could have gotten the whole thing.

I love how the background is illuminated in this shot - at first I just thought it was a neat texture and didn't realize it was all tentacles.

Lighting thanks to off-camera flash. This tank is curved, so it's hard to get a good shot in general. Being able to control the lighting is huge.
Extreme close up of a starfish in the touch tank. In previous years my best shots came from the touch tank, but this year the water was too ripply to get a clear shot of most of the animals.
Some sort of jelly. I thought I got a picture of the nameplate, but apparently not.
The sea otters were entertaining as always. I was able to get this minimally-distorted image by being several feet from the glass and focusing on a stationary otter, rather than the playing ones.
