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!

Brachiasaurus
Perhaps a bit too big to display indoors, this enormous brachiasaurus skeleton is on the west side of the Field museum.
Sue
Sue is the famous T-Rex that greeted us as we entered the Field museum. She's the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever discovered.
I thought it was neat that these are her actual bones on display, except for missing pieces and the skull. The real skull is too heavy to mount, but it's on display upstairs.
Rhino Teeth
Kruger National Park
After breakfast, we drove out to Kruger National Park, specifically to the Orpen gate. Near the entrance they had a lot of bones around, including this rhino skull. What big teeth they have.
_05/22/11_ Skull Rock
I can't imagine how it got the name.
This was at the apex of a hike that I did with my wife this morning at Temescal Canyon. We went early, so there weren't too many people. It was overcast and hazy, so the views weren't great, but the wildflowers made up for it. I almost posted a shot of some flowers, but decided this was cooler. It's like the old creepy man of the mountain, looking out over the McMansions.
Don't forget to checkout my setup blog post on yesterday's shot!

[last year] random but cool...
Squirrel Skull
This skull probably belonged to an Antelope Ground Squirrel (Ammospermorpholus leucurus) before being lunch for a hawk, owl, or one of several other predators.
_06/24/10_ Skull in a Jar
It's not really a jar - it's a special skull-sized glass container. Yes, it's real - it lives at the library where I work. My librarian friend Russell wasn't too sure about it's history (ie. who's skull is this?), but it's pretty neat on it's own. Many of the bones have little hinges on them so it can be taken apart - a good teaching tool, I suppose.
I set the container on some boxes that were stacked up and lit it from the side with a snoot-ed flash.

Skull Rock, which Ann and I agreed was a disappointment. Sure, it kinda looks like a skull, but the only reason it's so popular is because you barely have to get out of your car to see it. It is pretty neat looking though, even if I had to wait 5 minutes to get a shot w/out people in it.
