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 41: Sealife

 
Had a brilliant day today, David treated Rosina and I to a trip to birmingham. We got there around midday and had a lovely lunch in a cafe, then went to the sealife center. Rosina loved it and enjoy walking round (holding our hands) looking at all the fish, the tanks were mainly glass to the floor so she got a very good view, of course we picked her up for the things she couldn't see. Afterwards we met up with Lauren and went round her flat for a few cups of tea and a good catch up :)
   The main photograph today is of one of the tanks in the sea life center. It was curled and few of beautiful colours making a very good image.
    I also wanted to add more photographs from today, one of the hermit crab that Rosina seemed to really like, and of the very cute otters at feeding time, which I had to fight with a crowd to even see.
