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 144: Dippy egg

Had an unexpected busy morning, which was a bit annoying as I intended to get lots of work done, but other things needed sorting. This after I went to uni to meet some people to get some work done, trying to keep on top of all my work, but sadly feel like I'm coming down with something. I'm rather tired so only a quick post.
    Today's picture is of Rosina egg and soldiers at lunch time, in her lovely egg cup.

Day 143: Daddy's little girl

Had a very productive day today, although some of the work took me longer then expected so I haven't done as much as planned, but going to do more tomorrow. Rosina and David had a day of cuddles and watched Alvin and the chipmunks. We have rented ouit Green lantern to watch tonight, David isn't sure about it so we shall see.
   Today's photo is of Rosina and David being very cute together on the sofa cuddling.

Day 142: Tart

What a day, sliced my fingered open on a broken bowl, Ro bit my arm and left a horrible bruise lump all because I didn't look at her face when I was putting her down for a nap, and I dropped a massive slice of my home baked tart on the floor serving it. That sums up today really, other then that i did a big shop at morrisons with David :)
    Today's picture is of the chorizo sausage and red onion tart I made all by myself :) sorry about the smear on the open its oven cleaner which hasn't been wipped off properly and I didn't realise till we had cut into the tart

Day 141: Rain cover

As it was reading week I didn't have a lecture, but as I had a Ethics essay to do I went into university anyway to do work. It was quite distracting watching all the graduates go by while writing it, I would have much rather just looked out the window :). At half one Katie and I decided to go get some nachos for lunch, before heading to the dac to meet our team to do some work for our other module. David came and meet me at uni as he forgot his key so we walked home together and went and got our lovely baby.
   Today's picture is of Rosina in her rain covered pram very cute but she looks confused when she is trapped in there.

Day 140: At graduation

Had a lovely day at graduation, wearing the gowns in the cathedral made us all feel as though we were in harry potter, although now I'm not so sure I'd want to those things are bloody annoying lol. Was bit nervous walking up and round but couldn't stop smiling. Did the good old photos with the family which my Dad ordered, and got a photo outside my old halls. I even got brought a leavers t-shirt with everybody name on it, I did find mine hehe. Afterwards we all came back home and had a harvester take out for dinner. Rosina enjoied the excitement of the day and seeing her Papa.
   It was hard to pick a photograph today as I got allot of classic family in my hat picture but this was too good to pass on, I find it so cute and funny

Day 139: Stairs

I'm on reading week this week, but that didn't stop us meeting at university to do work in our new MA room, which is tiny and feels even more so with us all in it! Rosina was very cute when I picked her up from Clair's house she hugged my legs and got in  the pram herself.
    Today's picture is of some steps that are in town thought i'd experiment.

Day 138: Cuddles at milk time


Up at 6am fun times, Rosina didn't get the concept of the clocks changing. But alas makes my days longer I guess, got bored of being in so went to town to do a few bits and then walked up the river to meet Tama :) Had lunch and a good catch up, hopefully going to go to london soon to see her :) Spent the rest of the day playing with Ro and David it was very fun :)
    Today's picture is of Tama and Rosina cuddle while she had her milk.
