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!
![_03/15/12_ Slanted Pipe
I thought it was strange that this pipe actually was slanted - the camera was level. It caught my eye because the color of the pipe so closely matches the color of the wall.

![__02/17/12__ Debris Mirror
This shot is from a little photo walk around the neighborhood. There is an abandoned lot and house where I found this mirror next to a pile of junk. We've lived nearby for three years and I don't think the run-down house or overgrown lot has changed much. Maybe they're waiting to flip it when the housing market comes back to 2007 levels. Or... lazy?

This is another fellow student from the Environmental Portraiture class I'm taking. This photo doesn't really match the assignment for today's photo shoot, but it's still my favorite, therefore it's my photo of the day. I mean, look at that wall! And the color contrast with his shirt! And that great smile!
The lighting is a single bounced flash.

![__01/27/12__ Brick Bike Basket
Simple shot of a bike shadow that caught my eye. I took a lot of photos with my phone today, mostly of an open house that I helped put on. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun and very rewarding once it was over! It helped to grab a drink or two (or five) after work with coworkers.
Fun fact: I'm eating some of yesterday's photo while I type this!

![__01/12/12__ Don't Fall
Hey look, it's another photo of bricks! Well sorta. It's mostly of the cool shadows from the handrails on a staircase in the late afternoon.
My daily photos have been a little lackluster lately, so I'm really looking forward to Saturday when I'm doing a photo shoot for the class I'm taking. We're focusing on natural light on faces - should be fun!

![__01/11/12__ Endless Bricks
What a good day! I accomplished things at work, our replacement window got completely installed, and we got to pick up my parents from the airport after their 2 week trip in SE Asia. Exciting times.
This photo, on the other hands, is not very exciting, although I hope you find it visually interesting. I walked around a bit this afternoon with contest DSS #94 on my mind - Angles and Shapes. Not sure I'll submit this one as my entry, but it's something.

![_12/31/11_ Sparkler
Happy New Year!
New Year's Eve has been relaxing - a nice, lazy day with my wife. I've never really photographed sparklers before, so this isn't the most inspired photo. Also, I'm pretty sure they're illegal. At least I'm not going around setting cars on fire - apparently there's been a very busy arsonist in Hollywood over the past few nights.
