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.

2013-04-21 CicLAvia Terminus
This is a panorama of Venice Beach at Windward Avenue (where the "VENICE" sign is), which was packed with bicyclists that participated in CicLAvia, including myself - that's my bike on the left. CicLAvia is Los Angeles' version of events that apparently have become common throughout South/Central America where major city streets are closed off for the exclusive use of pedestrians and bicyclists. It's happened a few times, but before today it was only around downtown, which is a bit far without driving, and that would sort of defeat the purpose. Today's route included Venice Boulevard all the way to the ocean, so I jumped on for a few miles. 
It was a lot of fun! I plan on doing it next time for sure.

2013-04-09 Spray
This is the shot I got while thinking about my 3rd Phoneography 101 assignment about lighting. The challenge was to get something backlit... 
I admit the photo is kind of random...

2013-03-20 Tree Shadows
This photo was a quick shot as I left work. I liked the simplicity of the brick patio with the trunk of one tree and the shadows of another. 
BUT!!! There was something getting in the way of the simplicity and I used Photoshop to remove it. Can you tell where it was? Hopefully not. 
If I've stumped you, check out the original photo on my Instagram feed. I started Instagram to post un-retouched photos that sometimes become photos of the day. Deal with it. 

Also, happy first day of spring!

[last year] holy happy...
2013-03-16 Fence & Tree
I love this orange-barked tree, but I don't know what it is. There are some neighborhoods where this tree lines the streets, and it looks really cool.
This one had a fence built around it, which is interesting. I should have gotten lower to have the fence slats be more parallel in the image, but oh well.

2013-03-13 Heavy Fog
This morning was one of those ultra-thick fog days, which we don't get too often. This view is looking down my street; you could only see about half a block. 
Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's photo - I had fun making it and I'm glad y'all like it.

In other news, I am now enrolled in Photojojo University! In a couple weeks I'll be starting Phoneography 101 with Professor Pancake. For reals. Want to join me? Just go to the Photojojo Store and buy the class - it's only $5, so why not?
