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!
![_10/13/12_ Endeavour in the Streets
Tonight I joined thousands of others in welcoming the space shuttle Endeavour to its new home at the California Science Center. Yesterday and today, it made its way on surface streets from LAX, about 12 miles away.
I first went to the CSC itself, but after hearing it was delayed, I jumped on my bike to meet it on its route. I still had to wait a while, but it was well worth it. The left wing passed right over my head and it slooooowly made its way north on Crenshaw Blvd.
I have more to say about it, so check out the 'ol blog [coming soon...]
Update - whoa, it still hasn't arrived on Sunday morning. I feel bad for the people that were waiting there for it.

![_09/21/12_ Endeavour Arrival
Today's my birthday, and NASA sent me a Space Shuttle! Jealous?
It was a really fun shared experience today, both online and in person. I took the day off for various mostly-birthday reasons, and after a delicious breakfast at Milo & Olive my wife and I headed down to the Santa Monica pier to see the shuttle fly in after it's journey around the Bay Area. This photo was actually taken on the 2nd pass. I like how the clouds look, which is largely thanks to post processing. It was still flying around when we got home, and so we were able to watch it land for the last time ever at LAX. It's been a pretty cool birthday.

![_10/13/11_ Moving Forward
As many of you are probably aware, iOS 5 was released yesterday. One of the most significant features is that you can now activate a new iPhone or iPad without ever connecting it to a computer, and your most crucial stuff will still be backed up via iCloud. This means you can use a portable device like this without owning a "real" computer, and for people that don't like technology, that's awesome. Even for people that would never get rid of a "real" computer, it still allows a lot more freedom. Believe me, it's a significant event in the history of personal computing.
Another neat feature is the ability to get to the camera on your iPhone from the lock screen, and to be able to use the volume-up button as a shutter release. This is the first photo I took using that button, but it certainly won't be the last. I'm not sure I'll ever use the button on the screen again...

![_06/06/11_ Farewell, Blacktron
Tonight I shed some shiny plastic tears as I packed up my Legos to send to various eBay people. I had so much fun playing with them, building my own creations, and other stuff. I sold 9 sets in all, but some contained multiple - I think there are at least 25 in all, which includes literally thousands of pieces.
My genre of choice was space, and my... 'team' of choice was Blacktron, pictured here. They were the bad guys, but they had the coolest models. This guy came from my favorite - the Aerial Intruder. I always had a fondness for it that I can't fully describe, but The Little Mermaid might have something to do with that. I had a few Space Police models as well, and they usually came with a Blacktron dude in lockup. I almost had the complete series of Blacktron - everything except the base or space station or whatever it was called. Unfortunately it was around $200, making it far above any standard birthday or Christmas present allotment.
I'm sad to see them go, but I wish them well. Farewell, Legos! Bring another nerdy kid some joy!

![_04/14/11_ Rising Into Black
Tonight I went to see Mike Theiss speak at the Annenberg. He's a storm chaser and he showed some amazing photos and video of hurricanes and tornadoes. Check out his website - www.extremenature.com. It was a really interesting talk and I'm glad there are people like him doing that. I don't think I'll ever be one of them, but I can fantasize.
This is one of the towers outside the Annenberg... not the most inspired shot, but I like the black and white treatment with the fading vertical lines. There were certainly no 150mph winds, but it was pretty gusty so I'm glad I got a sharp shot.

![__01/25/11__ Press for Dashboard
Today's desperation shot features a little Lego man standing over the F3 button of my keyboard. On my Mac, it brings up the dashboard. Isn't that fascinating?
I took it with my S95 and I got the low angle lighting by... wait for it... turning the camera upside down! Also fascinating.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's shot, I hope to set up my fifth and final (for now, anyways) water drop photo! And if that isn't fascinating then, well, I just give up.
