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 2: Snake



Day 2 of my photo blog has proved difficult in blogging! I am just learning how to blog and the system isn't the way i thought it would be, but alas i shall get use to it i'm sure. Today was mostly spent with Parvaneh and Rosina, we went to an animal feeding center, where you could bring fruit and feed different animals. They were mostly in cages and you fed them through the bars, which to me seemed odd as in England, when i have been to such places you get in with the animals themselves. It was a interesting place as i got to hear a talk about bees, go to the hive and have a look. I even got to try there unfiltered honey which apparently still had the pollen and even bee legs in... nice.
       Todays main picture is of a corn snake where one of the keepers were showing people, and we did get to touch. it was soft and cold to the touch, but had beautiful colours. It was slivering around quickly, but i managed to get this image which make the snake look like its coming down from the sky. I like the way the colours in it skin matches the background, and the way only the top of the snake is coming into the photograph.
