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 18: Happy 4th July


 As i'm in America we celebrated the 4th July today, we had a small gathering of friends and children. Where we all played and had a lovely dinner. Rosina was amazing today and stood up from the floor without holding on to anything, she kept doing it and was so close to taking her first steps it was amazing, we took videos but sadly no brilliant photographs. Although i'm sure I will get some tomorrow when less people are around. I am so proud of my little girl.
        The photographs I chose to put up today are of each little girl. It was so difficult getting a good one of all three, I decided to use a good one of each separately. They just get distracted so easily, but I feel i'm getting a lot better at children's photography now.
