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 58: fillet o fish

  
Having a baby makes your days feel quite routine and repetative at times, so I try to keep doing things throughout each day to keep us both entertained. Rosina seems like a very clever little girl to me and even she seems to want to be outside. She was literally trying to climb in her pram when I got it out today. So I decided to go for a long walk, our walks are general round the rive or the canal as there the most peaceful places to go. I bumped into my friend Anja on my walk and meet her husband, Rosina saw them before I did and was pointing and smiling at Angelyna (there daughter). 
  I had an idea when I got home yesterday of taking a photograph of David working, its a shame I didn't think of this while I was there, but decided to go meet him from work again today and get him in action filleting a fish. To me he looke as though he is doing some sort of fish dance while working :)
