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 117: A candle in your memory

Today is a rather sad day, as it has now been three whole years since I lost my Mummy, she was my whole life and taught me everything I know, the best thing she left me was the knowledge of how to be a good Mummy myself. I aspire to be as good as she was.
   I decided to have a relaxing day today, I did intend to get alot more work done which hasn't really happened so I am doing some now. Today was a day of hair cuts though as I got mine done as it very much needed sorting out because the last time it was done it was like garden sheers had been taken to it. Rosina go their first every hair cut just a trim of the fringe to keep it out her eyes, I kept her curls from it as it made me sad to do but I could tell it was bothering her. Then David got his curls cut off and now it is very short again, he now has cold ears apparently.
   Today's picture is of the candle we light in memory of my Mummy, it was the only candle we own here but at least it smells good.
