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!

2013-05-04 Meier Column
This column is at the entrance to the Getty Center, which was designed by Richard Meier. It's an amazing place, and every time I'm there I tell myself I should go back more often. 
We went this afternoon mostly to see a site-specific dance performance which was quite impressive.

2013-04-12 Colorfork
This is my 4th Photojojo University assignment, although it's not exactly what Professor Pancake asked for. The challenge was to illuminate a scene with two different colors of light, using some sort of slow shutter speed app on the iPhone. Well I did that but didn't like the results. But as I was looking at the photo on my computer screen, I noticed it reflected on the fork in a cool way - so this is a photo of that reflection. I like it and I hope Professor Pancake is OK with it.

2013-04-06 Hermosa Beach Pier
Happy birthday to my wonderful wife! I took her out to breakfast at the Good Stuff next to the Hermosa Beach Pier, of which I took this photo from underneath. It was a beautiful day, and after hanging out at the beach we saw a performance of the hilarious Avenue Q. 
I like this photo because of the crazy patterns on the weather-worn concrete.

I love what fun shapes come out of simple symmetry. My favorite I've done is this one from San Diego. Today's is clouds - they looked cool and I need a photo, but then flipped it around to make this mirror image version, after deciding it was the coolest arrangement.

Happy Easter!
We bought some plants today at a nursery that was right next to the Chinese Baptist Church of West LA (CBCWLA), featuring this awesome cross fountain.

2013-03-27 Arches & Clock
I took some photos of the gorgeous Powell Library this afternoon, and this is my favorite, probably because I'm a sucker for symmetry. The clock was originally much higher on the wall, so I moved it down for a more pleasing composition. Cheating? Yeah... pretty much. 
jawsnap trivia: this clock also made an appearance on 2009-03-23. 

Yesterday's photo was of a baluster! What a strange word!

2013-03-25 Colored Windows
After only a single full day, we headed back to LA. This photo is from the terminal in Tucson. It was a quick trip, but we packed some great things into it, including meeting yesterday's subject.

__02/26/13__ Corner
This photo is of a sculpture called Column by William Turnbull, created in 1970. It's basically a tall steel rectangle, and this photo is looking down the column onto the base. 
I have a photo planned for tomorrow and the day after that, which will be the last day of Year 5! Then on Friday it's onto Year 6, I suppose... can't stop now! Will I ever? Hard to say...
