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 19: Chipmunks


I've had a lovely day today, it has been very hot so this morning we spent relaxing in the porch, Rosina had a photo shoot off Richard and they were playing all morning. Then this afternoon Parvaneh, Rosina and I, meet Leah and Sonya and went to 'The big deep' which is a lake in Woodstock where everyone goes swimming. It was quite warm in the water, and I kept floating on my back and Sonya would shout "come back Parisa" so I would have to swim back quickly. Playing with Sonya makes me very excited for the future when Rosina gets older and can play properly, not that she isn't lovely now.
      I sadly forgot to take my camera swimming, something I must not do too often now i'm doing this project. But after swimming I walked round the house and garden and saw many chipmunks, which you don't get in England so thought I would try and capture some images of the cute rodents.
