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 343: Waiting for the torch

Ro had childminder today, which David took her to when he got back we finished watching our film from last night. Then sadly David had to go to work, I spent the day starting some initial research for my dissertation and applying for another job. When I went to get Ro town was packed with people waiting to see the torch, it was really warm and once I'd gotten Ro we wondered through the crowd and Ro got a free balloon which she then let go of which made her very sad. We decided to go home as it was still ages till the torch was going to pass and Ro was hungry. After dinner at 7 we heard the town cheer turning on the tv we saw the torch was just round the corner so we popped outside and saw it go past which wears funny considering people had been waiting over an hour to see it.
Today's picture is of he crowd waiting sadly I didn't have time to photography the torch itself as we only just made it to see.
