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!

A metal handrail mounted on horizontal wood planks, with shadows from vertical poles on a fence. That is literally what it is.

![2013-03-17 Green Drink
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I celebrated by sharing a cup of green Bailey's with my wife. It was tasty. We're pretty low-key people for the most part, unlike the people that were at a nearby pub that opened at 8am today.
For this photo I wanted the glow of the green liquid, so I chose transparent water rather than opaque irish cream. But it's still green, and that's the important part.
Did you know green is the official color of St. Patrick? It's because it's the opposite color of snakes.

![2013-03-06 Twist
A lovely double helix sort of shape and shadow over a newly painted blue wall.

![__02/11/13__ Phoneography
A photo of my shadow taking a photo, on the carpet to my right as I'm typing this right now. Very much a desperation shot.

![__02/04/13__ Torqued Shadows
This shadow of a tree is being cast on Torqued Ellipse, a massive metal sculpture by Richard Serra that's at UCLA. It's actually called T.E.U.C.L.A., because there are multiple other Torqued Ellipses around the world. I may have done a teensy bit of editing in Lightroom. Just a tad.
I was hoping to receive and exciting delivery today, which would have probably been my photo of the day, but alas, the UPS guy decided to deliver before 4pm when I was at work. Hopefully tomorrow!

![__01/19/13__ Wheel Interior
I did a pretty good job on the symmetry with this photo, but of course I can't control the sun. I could have changed the orientation of the wheel to get the shadows straight, I suppose, but it wasn't my wheel to mess with. It was inside a tire shop that I had the unfortunate duty of visiting this morning thanks to 2 nails that decided to make their home in our right rear tire. But it's fixed now, in time for our jaunt down to San Diego - stay tuned for photos from there.

A photo of interesting shadows and patterns near The Counter where I pigged out after eating rather healthy all week.

![_12/30/12_ Sam's Sign Silhouette
Thanks for the comments yesterday. My wife and I got back home to Los Angeles safe and sound.
We took a pit stop in Blythe and I got some photos of this old sign that says "SAM'S". I'm not sure what it is for, but it seems to be gone now.
