Day 1: 16/06/2011
Tranquility

Day 1

I decided a while back that I wanted to start a 365 photography project Seeing others inspired me to take this step in photography, as i have been at university studying illustration the last three years but leaning more towards photography by the end of my degree and even doing my dissertation on documentary photography.
I wanted the starting day to be a day which meant something to me so I decided that today, the 16th June, which would have been my Mother's birthday who sadly passed away nearly 3 years ago, would be fitting. This project is in her memory and a gift to her.
The main photograph i have chosen today was taken in Central Park in New York city. At the moment I am on a 5 week holiday staying with my Aunty Parvaneh and Uncle Richard. I came here with my partner David and our daughter Rosina. The photography is of a small motor powered boat which people of all ages were sailing around a pond in the middle of the park. It is a peaceful photograph full of tranquility, hence the title. In the middle of the big city there is peace found by all in this wonderful park.
The two photographs below show the bulk of what I did today which was a photo-shoot, which I did for my Uncle Richard, photographing
the filming of a video being made for the Kickstarter website for his product Tricky notebooks. It was a long day but good experience
documenting a film being made.

I have realized that i blogged my first day as the main post, so now day one of my project will always be at the top of the blog and the rest will go in order from newest post to oldest, just so you don't get confused!

Day 13: Down at the bottom of the garden....


These are two moose...... Well not in this state, but they are in the Natural History Museum where we went today. David and myself had a day to ourselves without the baby (who we did miss). We went to NEW YORK CITY BABY! We have been twice before on this holiday so decided today we would hit the Natural History Museum, which was very interesting. Afterwards we had lunch and then spent the rest of the day wandering around Central Park, and Time Square. It was a gorgeous hot day and we had a lot of fun spending time as just the two of us, thank you Parvaneh and Richard for looking after our Rosina.
       Todays picture as you can tell isn't taken at the bottom of the garden, but is of stuffed Moose in the mammal section of the Natural History Museum. The photograph was taken through glass in a very dark room, and has come out looking like a painting, which i like.
       I also wanted to add a photograph of the both of us, also taken by myself very amateur style but a nice photograph with a natural light source coming through into the photograph.
