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 279: Trickynotebooks

Today's has been a very long day, last night we had a scary moment where a man was shouting for his money back and kicking there front door for ages, so I called the non-emergency line for the police and they sent officers round who arrived just as he left. But once we had spoken to them we heard them talking to someone outside so maybe they did catch him. This morning I was very tired after the mid night scare, but the lady wanted to get up, so we got ready and went to toddlers group, where we did lots of running around (although Ro got pushed over and cried :( by a nasty boy) I tried to keep Ro up but she fell asleep and was just waking as I dropped her at Clare's. This afternoon it was time to clean the old flat which was very hard work because of the damp which is always there and I tried my hardest to clean. It took me so long it was time to go get Ro and we both headed to uni for my tutorial so David could finish off. When I got home David and I decided to get a pizza and relax for  a little. Now tidying here and forms need filling in.
Today's picture is of my Trickynotebooks which I got a little while ago. They are Uncles product which is mentioned in my first ever blog.
