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 224: Zippo

Happy birthday to my love. Today is David's birthday sadly he had to work the meaning shift so me and Ro had until 4 alone. We had a lot of errands to run, including paying to succour our new flat :) After 13 viewings we finally found the one we like, although slightly dated bathroom/kitchen it is a great size and we can make it home. We had another viewing when David was home to measure it and see what we could fit in. When David got home before the viewing we did presents and cake, I make him cupcakes with white chocolate fish on top :) He got some nice presents including a super
Dry hoodie, and zippo off me. A war hammer book off Ro. A DVD and t-shirt off Roxy and Tom, also comics off
My Dad. Then money off some of his family. We had dinner at nandos, but sadly it's a quiet night in with a film as no one could babysit.
Today's picture of the engraved zippo I got David.
