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 5: Beautiful nature


Today has been one of those quiet days where you don't really do anything at all. Rosina slept really badly last night so I was very tired. I didn't do much with myself the rest of the day either. Rosina had a play date with Amelea, a very cute 10 month old, who came over with Cory her Mother, but sadly Amelea was teething and was generally not her usual happy self so my intention of getting a photograph of them together playing didn't really work out. When David got home from carpentry, him and Rosina had a nap on the sofa so i went for a walk around Parvaneh and Richard's garden which is 8 acres of woodland.
        My main photograph today, hopefully not a boring one is of my favourite tree. It is surprisingly one of the closest to the house and every time i sit out on the porch i stare at how big and beautiful it is, so i wanted to capture the size and beauty of it in my photograph.
