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 105: Ladybird


What a lovely day it was today, the weather felt like it was the middle of the summer not nearly October, although I did hear some ladies talking to an icecream man about the fact it was meant to be snowing in three weeks time, which is crazy considering the temperture drop that would have to happen, I don't think my body will like that. Crazy British weather for you!
  Rosina and I took advantage of the weather and went for a nice long walk to a lovely park, taking a picnic with us. I was very proud of Rosina as she walked alot of the way herself holding onto my bag strap on the pram as she went, and even didn't moan when I picked her up to go over a bridge. We had a lovely day together it was just a shame David was working so couldn't enjoy the weather with us.
Late last night before we went to bed a ladybird flew into our loung, so it was still today early hours of this morning, we caught it and it just sat on a piece of paper not moving so I took advantage of photographing it, which I found alot harder to get a decent shot then I thought. I need to look into bug photography I feel lol
