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 296: The hunger games

Just a quick blog as its been a long day of unpacking, other then that Ro and I took a walk and got some photos printed and over 200 ready to be picked up Monday (took Maias advice to do lots in one go) it makes me sad that people don't often print now due to digital photography and I'm a photographer saying that. So people print a load and get an album it's so nice to look through.
Today's picture is of the book the hunger games so many people I know are or have read it recently I decided it was time :)

Day 295: Fleurs

My little lady got me up early this morning, it seems when David is on the early she likes getting up early. Although she was in a very cuddly mood and wanted to just sit with me which was nice. We had a very fun bah before her nap, when she woke we had lunch and went to town, we had to do a big shop at Asda to he stuff in for Sunday as we have David's family over including his Mum, Dad, brother and nan so one busy day :) when David got back we did some tidying and made dinner. Rosina's room is now perfect :)
Today's picture are of some flowers Ro and I saw while we were out I do love spring and summer for all the flowers everywhere.

Day 294: Old sign

Had a day of uni work today as the little was at childminder. David and I dropped her off and went to the hub to sort out council tax which took a little while as we had to wait, but I did get a McDonald's hash brown for breakfast yum. When we got home i had the day to work, I went through my research highlighting and making notes and then started one of my essays which I'm happy about feel mainly on top of my work :) when I got Ro she was very happy to see me and we came home for dinner cuddles and a bit of tv before her bed. David is home now and we have to do some tidying.
Today's picture is of an old sign I always see on the way back from Clare's and strangely like.

Day 292: Worcester baby of the year

Maia had to leave today which is very sad as we had a lovely time together. We spent the morning chatting and getting ready then went to get her train, she got Ro a bunny toy and Easter egg for Easter which made the little lady very happy :) when me and Ro got back we had a nap. Then had to go to the doctors as she has been a poorly girl, they said it was a virus and to keep an eye on her. We meet David in town when he got home from work and had a nice evening together.

Day 290: Dress is your identity shoot

Had a good day today, this morning I had a photo shoot with Maia and Leonie. it was good fun and I felt confident although town wasn't as busy as I wanted it, because wanted many people rushing by and there wasn't that many. Going to try for some more tomorrow as well. Afterwards Maia and I took Ro swimming the big pool was so cold we spent out time in the small pool Ro was such a good swimmer and played with the toys for ages. David decided to treat us all to a nandos when we got home so we went there and had a great time. Now time to relax
Today's picture Is an example from my shoot showing your still an individual even with many people rushing by you. Thank you Maia and Leonie for all your help :)
