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 bulb of garlic that caught my eye because it looked like an eye. I lit with a softbox from above and had a simple white paper reflector below. The exciting part for me was using my new SB-700 flash, which I'd actually never used before, despite owning it for over a month. It's so much more user-friendly than my SB-800! I'm a fan.

![_09/05/12_ Cantaloupe Skin
The skin of a cantaloupe, no real subject. Close-up fruit and vegetable skins in black and white - that would be a fun photo series to do. Don't steal my idea.

Happy Pi Day! In honor of this truly important day, I decided to take a photo of a ball, whose volume happens to be (4 π r^3)/3. It's a racquetball, if you want to figure it out. The ball is resting on a djembe (a drum) and I lit it from underneath while using a teensy bit of on-camera flash so the top of the ball didn't fade completely into the background. Here's the setup.
The djembe also made an appearance on 4/26/09.

![_03/08/10_ Drum Man
I didn't notice the figure painted on the drum until I started photographing it. Looks kind of like the Pearl Jam stick figure, no?
Anyways, this is a drum we have at our house - it's fun. I set my aperture to f/1.4 to get the super-shallow depth of field so the blue man was in focus and the rear drum was fuzzy. I used a black cloth for the background and bounced my flash off the ceiling. I did some pretty extreme editing in Lightroom, but I think it still looks pretty organic. The main adjustments were moving the blacks slider way up and the vibrance way down to counteract the contrast.
