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 54: Stay Calm and Drink Tea


  Today was nice, after a scary moment when we got in last night with Rosina having had a nose bleed for no reason. I got up early with Ro and we played in our room till nine which I felt was a decent time to go wake the girls after our night out (which was great fun) spemnt the morning chatting till Lauren had to leave. Then Sam, Ella, Rosina and I went for lunch and did some shopping. this evening we keep looking out of our balcony there is lots of police around and riot vans guarding the city center, a few places being closed off and a bouncer outside the crown but luckily no sign of trouble. I hope things get better for England soon  and the riots stop.
   Today's photograph is in honour of a group I saw on facebook to get people to stop rioting, and everyone is to post aq picture of themselves drinking a cup of tea. So this is mine of Sam drinking one I made for her.
