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 4: Happy Fathers Day!
Happy Fathers Day to all the Daddy's out there. Today was David's first Fathers Day which of course made it very special. Rosina got him a card and a red t-shirt saying "Bazinga"; very fun. Me and David went to see x-men first class, a treat as we don't often get to go the cinema these days together. Thanks to my kind aunty Parvaneh who looked after Rosina and went on a lunch date with her. After the cinema we went to a farm which sells raw milk and you can go see the cows being milked which is quite interesting (shown in the photograph below). The rest of the day was spent relaxing and playing with Rosina, plus doing walking practice for her as she is so close to reaching this milestone.
The photograph today is a posed photograph where David held Rosina's hand and they took a walk outside the front of the house while i stood behind taking shots of them. I wanted the photograph to have an old feel to it, like a memory, which is why i decided to put it in black and white. I added the colour of the tops for effect, which even though simple to do I feel for this photograph does add to the meaning.
