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!

And thus completes Year 5. Tomorrow I shall begin on Year 6 of the One/Day Project, so update your bookmarks if you want up-to-date photos.
As per tradition, the final photo of Year 5 was taken at the beach at sunset. My wife picked me up from work and we braved through some exceptionally bad traffic to PCH. We parked in the first lot we could turn into, since sunset was rapidly approaching. We trudged through the sand and found plenty of stones spread across the beach, these four nicely-spaced ones caught my eye and I got a few shots off before the sun completely disappeared. I like this one mostly because of the sheen off the wet sand.

__01/24/13__ Wave
This photo is looking up the spiral staircase at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse in Cabrillo National Monument, where I hung out for a few hours before we drove back North. The 1854 lighthouse was fun, but the tide pools were amazing - what epic scenery! Of course, the waves were pretty rough and the tide wasn't out, so I couldn't do any actual tidepooling, but I got to explore some really neat rocks and climb around a little. 
Stay tuned for DSLR photos from San Diego, hopefully I'll get a gallery posted this weekend.

Life is still kinda sucky at the moment, but I did manage to actually spend time creating a photo today. I don't feel like explaining it, though, so just enjoy.

[last year] this ended up being pretty stupid...
_04/07/12_ Sparkly
Today we went to Paradise Cove in honor of my wife's birthday. After stuffing ourselves, we walked along the ocean a little ways and sat down by the water. I took this photo. Yep.

This is one of many similarly bright-colored tiny ornaments for our tiny Christmas tree that we bought this year. Only three more [work] days until I'm done at for 2011...

_09/17/11_ Beach Feet
These are my Chaco-tan-lined feet at the ocean today, where we met some friends for hot dogs and s'mores. We went to Dockweiler, because it's the only beach for 40 miles that has fire pits and allows fires. We got there around noon and grabbed a pretty excellent spot.
We were really happy we got a canopy, chairs and little table - it allowed us to hang out all day, which we'd never really done before at the beach. The constant wind got a little old, though. So did the planes flying over, but that's pretty expected as Dockweiler is directly under the takeoff path for LAX. 

[last year] does this count as a still life? ...
Kids Playing
I have no idea what this girl is shouting, but they were all having a lot of fun. They had some sort of board that floated, and they were trying to ride on it. Also, most of these boys are completely naked. We were told it was pretty normal for kids to be naked on the beach and this was not the only time we saw it.
