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!

Taken right around sunset after a "wacky" weather day as the LA Times put it. Mostly it rained, but it cleared up in time for sunset.

_12/12/12_ Reflective Floor
Happy 12/12/12! We will all be dead before another date like that rolls around. Except maybe some little kids - they might make it. But they'll be very old by then.
Anyways, this is a floor. A shiny floor.

My wife is still in the hospital and will be for a bit longer. It sucks, a lot. 
But, my parents and her mom are in town, and it was a nice break to go out to dinner at one of my favorite places, Buddha's Belly. We parked in the new mall - Santa Monica Place - and walked through it to get to the restaurant, and this was one of the views of it.

_04/11/12_ Shiny Bug
Hey guess what?! I finally installed LR4 today and used it to edit and upload this photo! I haven't played with it much, but I do appreciate that the interface isn't terribly different, and that Jeffrey Friedl's plugin still works, although I did have to re-register it and pass a few more dollars his way. Money well spent.
In other Lightroom-related news, I'm almost done with my Chicago photos, so keep an eye out for that gallery.
This photo is of a Volkswagen Beetle that I found parked on the side of the road. It was exceptionally shiny, and the road was lined with palm trees, so I thought it would make a good reflective subject. I came upon it on a short walk around my neighborhood. I got a little lightheaded, but I am feeling better than yesterday and Tuesday!

[last year] one of my favorites with no subject...
_03/20/12_ Shiny Baby
Today I went on a little work trip to Anaheim to see some nifty products. On my way to find some lunch afterwards, I looked up and hey - it was the Crystal Cathedral. I'd never seen it before, so I decided to stop and take some photos. I know the church has been going through some tough times, but the building sure is awesome. 
Just outside the sanctuary there was a statue of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. Mary and Joseph weren't made of metal, so I assume the chrome signifies divinity. He looks like a baby T-1000. It's also quite reminiscent of the tiger guy from Gladiator.

_12/16/11_ Shiny Sparkly
This is one of many similarly bright-colored tiny ornaments for our tiny Christmas tree that we bought this year. Only three more [work] days until I'm done at for 2011...
