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 52: Cathedral

   It was David's day off today, and we had planned to have a lazy day, but last night as we went to bed the evil ants had managed to get in our bedroom again! So we had to sort that out late last night, and this morning we still felt productive so decided to do lots of bits around the house. Barry's cage has also broken so we had to go ask about getting a new one, they said they would replace it but I don't know where they expect us to put him while we take the cage to get changed! So we will have to sort that out tomorrow.
   The weather has been very on and off today, raining one moment and really hot the next, but I did manage to get this beautiful picture of the front of the cathedral while we were out and about.

Day 51: My love

   Rosina made me so such a proud Mummy today, as she used her potty for the first time, and everytime we put her on it she used it. What a clever little girl she is and she is so proud of herself afterwards. I brought her a shortbread man for being such a good girl and got lots of kisses after that. We went round town today as it was the Worcester music festival, which we didn't realise untill we left the house and missed most of todays events, but did get to see a giant bunny which Rosina loved. David finsihed work ealy today so we decided to go get some films out from blockbuster, and he had got Rosina some poster for her room and some books for being such a clever girl.
    The main event of today was Rosina using the potty but i'm not sure that my viewers would be as pleased to see a picture of a used potty as I was when she did it. So I decided against taking a photograph of it lol. Instead I decided to take some photographs of David and his beautiful eyes.

Day 50: Summer sky

   Had a nice day with Rosina today, this morining we went to music, where she was a bit of a silly girl as when the instruments where put out she was the first one at the box but managed to share them out so much and then had none left for herself, so when she tried to go share with another girl abit older then her, she got pushed away which made me sad for her. This afternoon we went on a long walk down the river and did abit of cloud watching off the bridge. Then on our way home we bumped into Antonia and her family so went for a chat. David and I are now watching 'The Thomas Crown affiar' while eating mackies ice cream very tasty.
   Today's picture is of this beautiful summer sky, on this very hot day. I love looking at clouds and making out different shapes within them.

Day 49: Pub quiz


Had a quiet day today, it was raining this morning so ruined our plans of going to the park. Then this afternoon we did some general tidying up, untill David got home from work. Then this evening I went to a pub quiz we got 19/32 and I was terrible, but it was a good evening and had a few beers which was cheaper then coke.

Day 48: Table top flower


Had a lovely day today, David had a day off work so we had the lovely Gee family round, Warren, Claire and there lovely baby boy Lucas, we had a nice casual lunch and a chat. After they left we handed into town to get a few bits and David decided to treat me to dinner at pizza express, with Roxy's orange wednesday code we got two  free starters and a free pizza which was nice.
   Today photograph is of a flower on the table in the resturant, I wanted to show the hidden beauty in a busy world, and also the saddnes of a picked flower used to go in a vase for our benfit. However much I enjoy getting flowers there always something sad about how they die so quickly.

Day 47: Kisses

  
Had a good night last night, did lots of crazy dancing, and dance non-stop for over a hour without even a loo break which when clubbing I feel is impressive. Sadly Maia has gone home now, so Rosina and I were alone again while David worked. But luckily our friends Anja and Angelyna (who is 3 months older then Rosina) were free to meet up so we went to an eco center where we played in a toy kitchen, and then went to a park. This evening when David got home from work Rosina decided she would still be awake to see him and they had lots of kisses, I focused on the hands to show the different in size and age in the hands.

Day 46: Swinging

Had a nice day with Maia and Rosina today, went shopping, then decided to go for a swim Rosina loved the water and kept trying to swim off on her own, I don't think she realised she can't quite do that yet :) Afterwards David meet use as he forgot his key so we all went to the park, and rosina played on the swings. Me and Maia are going out to tramps this evening so I best go get ready.
Today photograph is an over the shoulder technique showing the view from over the shoulder of the person looking at something. So I have tasken this of David pushing Rosina on the swings. Also added a photograph of Rosina in a red play tube in the park.
