Day 1: 16/06/2011
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 10: Water
Rosina hasn't been sleeping well recently, seems like she is having nightmares of something as she wakes up early and its not as though she is hungry, it is very saddening. But luckily she is still her happy self in the day time, and isn't too hard to settle. Today has been quiet we didn't do much this morning, then David, Rosina and myself went to the mall this afternoon and found some new shoes which is nice :)
I found today picture the hardest so far, I took some in the mall and worked for about two hours on photoshop with them this evening trying to make something more from them, but it just isn't working as well as i hoped. Its getting late now so i decided to use this other picture I took today, of Rosina playing with the water from the bathroom taps. As you might be able to tell I love photographing hands i feel they say so much about a person and are very interesting.
