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 12: Happy 1st Birthday


Happy 1st birthday to my gorgeous daughter Rosina, today was a very special for us all. We had a lovely morning involving opening her birthday presents. We got her a American girl doll which she is a little young for but it is something special she can keep and treasure forever. As my Dad gave us money to chose a present for her, we got her doll some cloths with it. We also got her a toy tool box which she loves playing with. Parvaneh and Ricard gave her a beautiful painting of a frog holding heart balloons, a Parvaneh Holloway original :) For a treat we took her to the baby gym where she got to learn how to do roly polys and backwards rolls. Then we went out for a buffet lunch, where she got a lot of attention off everyone there. A friend Chester is 59 years her senior so in the afternoon he came round for ice cream cake which is delicious.
      Today photograph, or I should say set of photographs is of some of the special moments from throughout today, including the birthday card that David and myself made her.
