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!

2013-05-09 Pink Sky
I was pulled out of my house this evening by a glowing orange sky that then turned more of a pink color. Everything had this great warm glow, and although it's a little bit exaggerated in this photo, I hope I captured the feeling of it. Magic hour, indeed.

I made this image out the passenger window of our car around sunset driving down Santa Monica Boulevard. Don't worry, I wasn't driving. It's a blend of 16 images using the Average Camera Pro iPhone app. I recommend the app! It's fun for things like this, but designed so you can get low-noise images in low-light situations (provided you can keep the phone perfectly still).

2013-03-26 Untitled
I try to title all my photos, but I also strive for accuracy. I have NO CLUE what these are called, so that's why it's untitled. Please comment if you know what these thingies are called. 
They look very pretty in the late afternoon, though. 

Update - thanks KDP450! I guess it is a balustrade, it's kind of around a brick court. I was looking for the name of the individual column thingies, too, if anyone knows that!
Update 2 - thanks arctangent! It's a baluster. Who knew?! Glad you folks were knowledgable, thanks :)

Tonight I went for a walk/run through the sand around sunset. It was fun, and quite a workout. The ocean was pretty rough and there was a lot of seaweed washed up on on the beach. This bit in particular caught my eye as it made a long curve in the wet sand.

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.

And thus completes Year 5. Tomorrow I shall begin on Year 6 of the One/Day Project, so update your bookmarks if you want up-to-date photos.
As per tradition, the final photo of Year 5 was taken at the beach at sunset. My wife picked me up from work and we braved through some exceptionally bad traffic to PCH. We parked in the first lot we could turn into, since sunset was rapidly approaching. We trudged through the sand and found plenty of stones spread across the beach, these four nicely-spaced ones caught my eye and I got a few shots off before the sun completely disappeared. I like this one mostly because of the sheen off the wet sand.
