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!

Another Christmas-y desperation photo today. This little snowman has some red and blue lights inside that blink. It's fascinating.
To get the shot, I used my S95 and my SB800 that I had set up from the previous 2 days. I fired the flash manually with one hand while manipulating the camera with the other. It took quite a few tries to get what I was going for.

Death Valley, Day 3
If you've heard of it before, you probably recognize this as a photo of the Racetrack. If you haven't, let me tell ya:
The Racetrack is a mud playa in Death Valley National Park, where the rocks move. No one has ever seen it happen and no one has been able to prove how it happens, but the evidence is right there - huge rocks with long mud trails behind them. The theory is that when the playa gets wet, it gets slippery enough that high winds are able to push the rocks around. It's a truly amazing place and I enjoyed every minute that we spent there.
The road to it is not easy. You need an SUV at the very least - a lot of people rent Jeeps to make the trip. It's a long trip, too - took us most of the day, and we left pretty darn early.
Here's what the National Park Service Sign says:
"The moving rocks are something of a mystery. Scientists theorize that when this ancient lake bed - or playa - gets wet, it becomes so slippery that winds can move rocks weighing 100 pounds or more. Others suggest that winds move the rocks only when ice helps them raft along a temporary lake surface."
