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 71: City center

Had our usual friday music lesson today, although Rosina seemed strangly shy and sat on my lap for the majority of it, and it wasn't untill we came home that she want to play Row Row your boat with me. The weather was so bad today, I wasn't keen on going for our daily walk as it is difficult to push a pram and hold an umbrella so I tend to end up getting soaked. Once David came home I did Zumba again on the wii while they watched and shouyted things at me :) 
   Today's picture I didn't even have my camera on me for at first I made David run back up stairs to get it, we walked out the house to go get some food and with the weather and feel of the day, the street looked like a painting to me.The photograph I took didn't do the image in my head justice so I have tweaked it to represent to my viewers how I felt when I saw this scene.
