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 9: H'orderves


Today Parvaneh, Rosina and I went shopping again, while Richard and David did some cleaning thank you both for that :) I manage to find myself a bargain of a $120 dress for $32 so I was very pleased with that. We also ordered Rosina another ice cream cake for her birthday on Tuesday. This afternoon i carried on with Rosina birthday card which is nearly finished now and looking pretty good. Then in the evening Elaine and Chris came round for some drinks and we served h'orderves.
      Today's picture is as you can tell a photograph of the platter we laid out and the wine. I felt although a good photograph, the subject was slightly mundane so this sepia colour tone gave it a more interesting feel, and enhanced the photograph itself.
