Had my usual busy Friday at university, this mornings lecture was full of five minute drawing after being given a short brief which is quite a scary thing to do as I am not a quick drawer, but we had a group one where we had to come up for a new use for a brick if they stopped building with them and we came up with the ibrick the most secure iPhone case ever, it was very funny. After the lecture I had a chat with John about my project and think I now have a theme forming which excites me, this week will be full of research towards it :) This afternoons lecture was interesting learning about ethics we have a presentation for next week to do luckily I am working with Katie which makes it a bit nicer. I picked up Rosina afterwards and we had a lovely dinner together before she fell asleep on my lap and after a long cuddle I put her to bed.
Today's picture is of the rose David got me yesterday, I am not 100% happy with it but feel I would need extra lighting to do it perfectly maybe its time to invest.
Day 1: 16/06/2011
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!
