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 253: Nesting

This week has gone so fast, friday has come round again which means my day of work while Rosina was at her childminder. I got alot sorted including how I am going to do some of my shoots for my module, and my idea for experimental photography. Sadly it meant I didn't have time to go for a swim, as the work is getting quite intense now. But we are going as a family on sunday so I get to do some lenghs and play with Ro in the pool, she loves to swim and is very good at it. David got home in time to pick Ro up with me, and we let her walk home, she was very good and held our hand all the way. We have viewings tomorrow at the flat, so now have to make it presentable.
 Todays picture is of a pigeon nesting in the tree below our balcony, I have seen it for a few days now and decided to try and photograph it through the tree.
