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 122: Geometric glass

Oh what an interesting day, I let David lay in as his back still hurt, until Ro decided it was time to go in and wake up daddy. We had to make a dash to town as soon as the shops opened as we did the silly thing of not realising there was only one nappy left! Coming home for lunch David took his back painkillers and this was the wired part to the day, because he had a bad reaction causing him to be very confused, and ill. I put him to bed for him to come out 5 mins later wondering where he was and why he was in bed. Spent the next hour looking after him till he feel asleep, and woke up ok. He has stopped the tablets now! After all this we got a buzz on our door phone, no one answered so I ignored the next until they wouldn't stop buzzing looking over my balcony two police were there and shouted up 'please let us in' So I did and we waited by the flat door for them to come up and say people had been throwing eggs, from the windows out the back, we let them in to look out our kitchen window and they could tell which flat it was from there! Went back to town to get fish and chips for dinner and got Harry potter Lego on ps3 as a treat :)
   Today's picture is of the windows above chapel walk. I liked the angles and using the photograph portrait felt as though it worked well.
