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 265: Fell asleep eating crisps

Had a nice day today, this morning Rosina and I went to a play group which Clare sometimes takes Ro to when she is in on a Wednesday morning. It was a lovely group and some of our other friends came too. Ro even got to make rice crispy cakes :) when we left she got a bit confused thinking she was going with Clare. House. After a nap and some food she did go to Clare's. While she was there I got my haircut and did my presentation. Once I got Ro we had a lovely evening before falling asleep together till Daddy got home.

Day 264: Lots of reaserch

Had a very long day today, David was on the early and Ro woke up when he did so got Mummy out of bed at 6am although she did bring my pillow in the lounge for me. She was unpacking open boxes all morning so it was not peaceful running after her. We went to music at ten and she enjoyed it more then last time but was still very clingy. When we got home a very tired Mummy and baby had a well deserved nap, although I should have been getting on. This afternoon we went to get her photograph taken for Worcester baby of the year, so look out for voting for her :) we went to meet David from work to get a few bits, and headed home. I had to then to go university to get some books out to be able to work from tomorrow. When I got home dinner was on the table which was nice :)
Today's picture all the books I got out for research and I still need more, who said photography masters was easy lol

Day 263: Rosina's new toothbrush

Today has been busy, but this morning was lovely, I went to Anja's house and Ro had a play date there. She had lots of fun with Angelina and Travis, we spent most the morning there before all the little ones were tired and ready for there naps. When I got home Ro went down so I had a bit of time to laze before heading to uni. Today as normal is my long day but it proved very useful, as got a clearer idea about my projects. Home now and ready to rest.

Day 261: First real haircut

Had a nice day with Ro today, normally on Saturday it feels lonely when David is at work. But today we got to see Leanne and Matt, Ro loves them so much it made her very happy (think she thinks there her friends not mine). We went for lunch at bushwackers for lunch which was lovely food, and after I showed them round the new house. Ro loved running round with Matt in the empty rooms, think they wore each other out. Afterwards we had to leave as Rosina had her first proper hair cut, she has only ever had her fringe done before. She was a very good girl, when we got home we played for a bit but she started to get a bit sad and tired so I got her ready for bed and she was sick all over me, poor little lady hasn't been well since. Hopefully she will feel better in the morning.

Day 260: New home

Rosina did not sleep well last night and was up early this morning, so I was a very tired Mummy. We spent most the day tidying and doing bits that needed to get done. When David got home at 5.30 we had to rush to sign for our house and get our new keys. We went straight there and had look around, I am so excited about moving in. Got lots of work to do this weekend but also going to start moving and cleaning :)

Day 259: Mummy cuddles are the best

Had a great night with Sam last night, although was very shocked when Ro was up first in the house this morning, so we got her ready and David took her to childminders. When David got home we decided to go out and let them all sleep, so we had a nice breakfast today. When we got home everyone was up and David had to go to work. Chris went to spend the day with his friend so I had a great day with Sam and Callum and I miss them lots already. This evening Rosina and I went to Birmingham to go have a Wagamamas with Lauren and Christina. It was great to catch up and be able to see them more often. Over all was a great day although Rosina did get a late night.
