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 101: Chinese Lanterns

Firstly I would like to give you a link to look at, as you may remember on day one of my blog (which annoyingly is also at the top of everyday's blog) I mention and had some secondary photographs of my Uncle's project Tricky notebooks, which on that day was the filming of the project for a website called kickstarter to raise money for it and get it out there. Today the video has been posted to the site and is up and running for 30 days, so could people please take a moment to look and even repos on there facebooks if they like the product :)

Today for me was busy, Daivd had another day off work which was lovely, so it meant we enjoied a nice breakfast together and i got a bit of a lay in before hand. Sadly David and Rosina were a bit poorly so I was looking after them providing lots of obus oil to make them able to breath :) We decided to tidy our cloths up together which took alot of effort and we have barley any space for them all, I think this is a sign but I am ignoring it lol. Daivd took Rosina to the doctors this afternoon to make sure the cold hadn't got on her chest, so it gave me a good time to do my daily zumba fitness which i must admit I hadn't been doing as regularly as I would have liked to the last week. 
  This evening after dinner we decided to let off the lantern Scott got Rosina for her birthday, it was more difficult then it looked to set off and we thought it was going to hit the other buildings or worse just fall straight down onto the street once we let it off but luckily it managed to stay up and Rosina loved it, thank you Uncle scott! So my pictures are of David letting it off, and of the lantern flying away into the sky, we told Rosina to make a wish and pointed at a star saying that was were it had gone hehe.
