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 66: Birthday cake

Happy Birthday Roxy!!!
Had a great party last night, or more like the early hours of this morning as didn't go to bed till 5.30am lol, played many a drinking game including 21 where we only managed to reach 21 three times, can you tell what state we were in :) Also played just dance on the wii which I found very entertaining, although think Roxy was slightly dissapointed with it. This morning we all go up arounf 10.30 and had traditional present opening on the bed, then a big fry up made by the lovely Tom flannery. Then once we all finally got ready we pop to town for a few drinks in the sun at a cafe. It was lovely being at my sisters, but I had to go home early because my lovely little baby missed her Mummy and feels one night away is plenty for now :)
   Today's photograph was taken in the early hours of this morning where Tom produce this tasty cake and we all merrily sang happy birthday to Roxy. Don't worry though Roxy 24 isn't too old....
