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 261: First real haircut

Had a nice day with Ro today, normally on Saturday it feels lonely when David is at work. But today we got to see Leanne and Matt, Ro loves them so much it made her very happy (think she thinks there her friends not mine). We went for lunch at bushwackers for lunch which was lovely food, and after I showed them round the new house. Ro loved running round with Matt in the empty rooms, think they wore each other out. Afterwards we had to leave as Rosina had her first proper hair cut, she has only ever had her fringe done before. She was a very good girl, when we got home we played for a bit but she started to get a bit sad and tired so I got her ready for bed and she was sick all over me, poor little lady hasn't been well since. Hopefully she will feel better in the morning.
Today's picture is Ro showing off her new hair.
