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 6: Mm's and M
It's raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring, he went to bed and bumped his head and didn't get up till the morning. This is all I felt like saying this morning, as it was raining, thunder and lighting. Not good weather for America. I think we may have brought it with us from England. So today was a good day for old fashioned shopping. Parvaneh, Rosina and I went to a few shops, and did some cloths shopping. On instruction of my sister Roxy, who was shocked I hadn't brought anything for myself while on holiday, I got myself a beautiful new dress, which is very floral but gorgeous (perhaps a photo in the making in the next few days...). We also stopped for amazing ice cream sundaes, which Rosina happily helped us eat.
Today's picture is just something fun, I didn't really see anything inspiring while shopping so decided to play around with lego. I wanted something colourful and fun. Mainly to show the happy mood I'm in while staying here :). Also for all you cat lovers out there, one of the playful lovely kitties, Mika having fun with string.
