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 60: Ball pit

   David had today off work so we got a few bits done, including buying a table and chairs which (as old as it makes me sound) makes me very happy as it means we can finally stop eating like slobs infront of the tv on our laps, and I'll have a place to do my work where Rosina can't press buttons on my laptop. In the afternoon we took Rosina to little acorns she was too excited to even eat her lunch when we got there. They had a great time in the ball pit while I took photographs. I'm always weary of ball pits as you never know what is really underneath all those balls after all the little children have been in them, even Rosina was giving them a good slobber.
  Today photograph is of them in the ball pit, they kept sinking into the balls and laughing. I wanted to catch a natural shot that looked fun and child like with all the colours surrounding them both.
