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 61: Little friends

 This blog has become habit by now, part of my daily routine. But I do feel this month has been filled by images of people alot including many of the cheeky little baby Rosina. I want to start trying out some new styles and techniques of photography, so any ideas would be very welcome. Also suggestions of previous blogs likes and dislikes would also be helpful.
   Rosina didn't sleep well last night, but dispite that I was quite awake this morning, and once we were ready we went to town, did alot of window shopping and had a spy on people getting there feet eaten by fish, i'm still not sure if this is my cup of tea. In town after much browsing we brought a new table cloth and placemates (Cath Kidston) to go one our new table :), also a teabag dish in a shape of a teapot, again (Cath Kidston). In the afternoon we meet up with our friends Anja and Angelyna at a eco center which have a play area for children and do great cake! There friends also came along and the children had great fun playing. Once we got back home David made us a lovely dinner (our new favourite learnt in America) rice, kidney beans in tomates, eggs and cheese.
    Today's photograph I took at the eco center, I followed Rosina around while she played and managed to capture this quirky image of her and Angelyna playing. They have such grown up expressions on there faces, and even though blabbing away seems to understand each other very well.
