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!

Oy, what a day. Glad it's over.
This is my only non-utility photo from today, meaning that all my other photos were of signs so I would remember how to get back to where I was. This is the marquee over the Wilshire theater, which I've photographed a number of other times for this project. It's a pretty sad place, and I think it's been for sale since we've lived on this side of town (4 years). Also it's upside down because I liked it better that way.

![_06/05/12_ Viewing Venus
Did you see the transit of Venus? I'm happy to say I did! Now I can die happy, since I will almost certainly die before 2117 when it happens again.
There were a lot of folks out to view it at UCLA, where astronomers set up telescopes and some of my librarian friends were on hand to show historic documents related to the transit of 1769, which was the reason Captain Cook was sent to Tahiti - so he could record it. He just happened to find some other stuff - like Australia - along the way.
These students are viewing the sun with solar viewers that were tied to a light stand with orange ribbon for all to come and use. It was hard to see Venus with these instead of a telescope, but you still could make it out.

![_05/03/12_ Bark Art
Say that five times fast: bark art barka arti aark arit bark arait abarka art. See, it's hard!
I went for a short walk this evening and thought I would try an abstract photo of one of the many trees that lines our street. I did quite a few photos while moving the camera, and found this one to be the most interesting, since it has a degree of sharpness and is still recognizable as bark, yet the motion is still obvious.

![_04/26/12_ Bench
It was pretty awesome to see my brother play his master recital yesterday, but sadly we had to make it a very quick trip - less than 24 hours. So, today I was back at work, where I took this photo of a bench.

![_04/11/12_ Shiny Bug
Hey guess what?! I finally installed LR4 today and used it to edit and upload this photo! I haven't played with it much, but I do appreciate that the interface isn't terribly different, and that Jeffrey Friedl's plugin still works, although I did have to re-register it and pass a few more dollars his way. Money well spent.
In other Lightroom-related news, I'm almost done with my Chicago photos, so keep an eye out for that gallery.
This photo is of a Volkswagen Beetle that I found parked on the side of the road. It was exceptionally shiny, and the road was lined with palm trees, so I thought it would make a good reflective subject. I came upon it on a short walk around my neighborhood. I got a little lightheaded, but I am feeling better than yesterday and Tuesday!

![_03/16/12_ Ficus & Ivy
Here's the only shot I took today, except a shot of my delicious dinner to share on Facebook - people LOVE seeing what other people are eating. Don't you? Of course you do.
This tree is just outside my work, and it looked especially neat after a little bit of rain. If I had more lighting equipment, I'd consider doing a series on ficus roots in LA. There are so many neat ones to choose from. This shot is straight out of camera, which I don't normally do, but the iPhone did a fantastic job with the exposure.
