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 8: Bonding



Today started off rushed with me waking up with ten minuets to get ready so that we could go to the library for a music/reading group for Rosina. After the library we looked in town at a thrift store and I managed to get the book of 'The cat in the hat' for $2 so i was pretty happy with that. When we got back Sonya was round, and we all had fresh bagels and vegetables for lunch. In the afternoon David and Parvaneh, played with Rosina and Sonya in the studio while I drew Rosina's birthday card (perhaps I will post a photograph of it once it is complete). Half joining in playing and designing the card took up the majority of my day by which time it was bath, dinner and Rosina's bed time.
       Today main picture is of Rosina and Sonya, they love to cuddle and play together as i have mentioned before, but their active spirits and vast amounts of energy does make getting a good photograph of them together difficult. It normally ends up with one looking the wrong way or various other problems. But in this photograph I feel I have captured the special bond between them both.
