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 305: Alternative fashion show

I have had a very busy day in London, Lydia and I went straight to the alternative fashion show when we left the house and spent some time looking around the stalls and talking to designers and modelling agencies, whom I have hopefully succoured two interviews with for my dissertation. Afterwards the show started and I managed to bag myself a good space at the front so I could photograph the show, spending over an hour constantly photographing, having to change my settings through lighting changes and try not to be pushed out the way by others was hard work but fun and I felt very proud of my hard work. Once the show had finished and we had finished looking round we headed to oxford street so we could find some locations for the photo shoots with Lydia. We spent the restroom of the afternoon doing this and managed to get home at 7. Now I'm waiting for Lydia while she is at he reappointment before we head out for some nighttime shoots as well. Busy but productive day.
Today's photo is just one of many from the show.
