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!

Had a fun day hanging out with a visiting friend in Hollywood, afterwards we ended up at Griffith Observatory. I love my wife - we went here mainly so I could take a photo. And I didn't even have my big camera!
Roads of interest - the near-vertical well-lit street on the right is Normandie, flanked by Western on the right and Vermont on the left. The bright complex along Vermont is Kaiser Permanente, at the intersection with Sunset. You can see Sunset trail off towards downtown LA with all the tall buildings.

Check the metadata - I got an iPhone 4S! I've never gotten anything the same day it was released before... I didn't really consider myself one of those people, but hey, it worked out. Plus, since it was basically a big party at the AT&T store, I got free popcorn!
This is the first (and as of this writing, the only) photo I took with the new phone, and it's not great. The super-foggy conditions and boring intersection right outside the store didn't make for the most compelling subject. But never fear, I'll be snapping away tomorrow and will share all it with y'all.

![_07/15/11_ CARMAGEDDON!!!
It is upon us! Hide your kids, hide your wife! For the love of God, STAY HOME! Please people, take heed! It's going to be TERRIBLE!
It's a little early to say, but if LA really does turn into one giant parking lot tomorrow and Sunday, we can't say we weren't warned. I don't think I've ever been as aware of a single event in my entire life as I am about this freeway closure. It's ridiculous.
Luckily I'll be gone for most of it! I'm flying back to Tucson for a birthday party. Stay tuned to see whose it is...
Oh, also, I took this photo today. This sign is underneath the Wilshire/405 underpass, and the lane it refers to is the on-ramp to the 405 South, one of the many ramps that will be closed for Carmageddon. I didn't like the bus in black and white, so I left the red in.

Went to a bar in Venice for a friends bday. Right outside was a black Lamborghini. Across the street was this.

![__01/11/11__ Sign Post
Hey look, it's color! My last 6 photos have all been black and white.
Traffic was heavy in Westwood today with a movie premier (No Strings Attached) and a demonstration at the federal building (stop the killing of Christians in Egypt). I took this shot from the bus stop, the federal building is in the background. I wish I'd framed it a little better, but the bus came right after I took the shot. Bummer, because I'd been sitting there for 15 minutes before I realized it might make an interesting photo.
I really like the stars from the lights that the S95 gives.

Not the most random thing* I've seen at a bus stop, but it was pretty unexpected when I noticed him at eye level. Not sure what this plastic dude's deal is.
*would probably be this
