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 323: We like to dry with talc

Had an early start today as Ro decided that when Daddy isn't in bed we shouldn't be, although nither of us were very happy and she keep walking round looking very sad and taking me back to bed then gettin up again so at 9 I got her down for a very early nap. Waking up properly at 11 felt alot better for us both, we had a lovely play and lunch together before meeting Leanne to go shopping.

Day 321: Bedtime story

Had a nice morning with Rosina we went to play group where they had a teddy near picnic, it was good fun and out of all the cakes and crips Ro ate the strawberries so proud :) Ro played nicely most the time although one girl pushed her and took Her toys and she let it happen as she is too good at sharing so Mummy got involved nicely when it happened again and said it was mean to push and they should share and not snatch. This afternoon Ro went to Clare's and I did my essay which didn't go well as I was so un-motivated. Had a nice evening with David and the lady eating home made curry and lots of playing and bedtime stories.
Today's picture is of Daddy getting ready to read her story we do love story time.

Day 320: Flood

Had a nice day with my lady today, spent the morning playing duplo and building houses which Ro kept taking apart! This afternoon we went to see the river as we heard it was flooded, it was so bad the water was above the fence and bins and covered the whole paths although the swans loved being so close to people feeding them although some silly girls tried to touch one and got nipped. Ro enjoined watching the swans up close and you realise just how Big they are! We went to Asda to get some food in I let Ro walk for a bit as I didn't let her out by the river. We had a nice evening together and Ro got to see daddy before I put her down :)
Today's picture is of the river to show how flooded it was.
