100/365 Triple Digits!!!

Wow. A 100 days of faithfully taking a picture every day and posting! Crazy to think I have gone this far and still going strong! I wont lie, its been hard some days to think of ideas. But those days are going to happen. So we just keep moving forward! Crazy to think I am in the triple digits. Thanks for everyone that has been keeping a watch on my photos and made a comment or sent a message about it. I love the support and it sure has been fun!

I had this crazy idea today that would probably have taken all day to shoot and edit, and I really had not time for that, so I collaborated with my wife and came up with a simpler solution! I waited in the car with our dog while my wife went in to purchase these three balloons and also a huge birthday balloon for our little niece who just turned three. When my wife came out with the balloons, both of the zero balloons came off the string and were carried away by the wind! Apparently the store people didn't tie them too well. My wife went in and said "here are the strings, can I get more balloons". They were kind enough to replace them. This time she walked out with the zeros in a huge bag so they could not do the same thing again.

Also look for my website to be up soon http://www.chaselester.com it should be up in the next couple of days. But please mind the newness of the site. Things will still be getting organized and photos added and dropped as I get it looking how I want it to. But I am excited for it to be up as it has said "coming soon" for quite sometime now. Now for the photo!

99/365 Mr. Mom

Well, this was shot before the midnight bell. Just getting to posting it now. Well this picture has a story behind it. My wife has been put on complete bed rest again. She is 32 weeks along. We went to see the specialist again today, and everything looks good on the ultrasound and the baby is growing normally. However, today was the first day of stress free testing. Come to find out that the pains my wife thought was just the baby pushing up against her stomach, is actually contractions. She had quite a few during the test. She also had them all day yesterday. They of course dont want to deliver yet, so she is now once again on full bed rest. They told her that staying down will keep the contractions down for now. But we are to watch them carefully incase we need to go to Labor and Delivery at the hospital. Hopefully we make it to 35 weeks, though I think they want to see her really make it at least to 38. So once I again, I resume the roll as Mr. Mom:

98/365

Had some awesome shoots today. First one was an infant, and she was very very cute! After that shoot I had to do some for school for a group project. So with some other fellow class mates, we met in the schools studio and did a bunch of fun shots for the assignment. Here is one of those shots:

97/365 Ballon Head

Have any of you ever had your head stuck in a balloon? Its really hard to breath, thus the needle! I am having a hard time lately thinking about things to do for my project. I am going to blame it on my busyness right now. But soon school will be out, and I will have more time to dedicate to what I want to do. I have ideas, but the time its going to take to shoot and edit some of them are probably more time then I have in the next week or two. So those ideas are on hold. So I walked in the studio today, wondering what to do, saw a balloon on the floor, and this is what came to mind:

96/365 Exposure

Not too much to report for today. Did two tests today, and took a photo. Had another Dr. appointment with my wife for the baby. We are going to have quite a bit to finish out her pregnancy. They will be doing a non-stress test to make sure the baby is happy in the tummy. If he is not happy, then he gets to come out early, which hopefully is not before three and a half more weeks. My wife will be past the preemie stage at that time (35 weeks) Anyways, thanks for stopping by! Leave a comment if you so feel inclined!

95/365 The dog is a licker

Thats right, don't get too close to my dog or you might just get a kiss or fifty! Lol. He has been a kisser since day one! He just loves to give loves! But he is a cute boy anyways. He is a retired fake racer. We used to pretend he was a racer. He got to run at a dog track a few times while being trained to race, but we decided not have him continue on. He is the fasted dog you never met, but Italian greyhounds are fast anyways. But my dog Gus here, looks built to run because he has the longest legs of any Italian Greyhound I have seen! One day I will upload a pic of him standing. He loves to run. But loves to cuddle also. He enjoys long walks on a rainy beach....lol Jk, to todays pic!

94/365 Portrait

Happy Easter weekend everyone! Its been a good one. And the meals were delicious! I wish it were Easter every weekend! Got to hang with family from both sides (the wife's and mine). For todays photo, I thought I would just do a simple portrait! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! What were all of you up to this weekend?

93/365

What a great day! It was really kinda busy though. But I got some pictures done for my end of semester school project. I am doing it on family. So I am taking portraits of each family member individually to show the uniqueness of each person in the family. So I was able to get some of the family shot on my wife's side today. After I was done with all the portraits today this was an idea I was wanting to shoot for a while now. The last time my wife was in the picture for me was 55 days ago and here she is again much more pregnant! Things are going well. She is not so much on bed rest as she used to be, but she still is on a somewhat bed rest. She is now 31 weeks along, so not too much longer to go... Well here she is with me for day 93!

92/365 Man in the Mirror...

Hello knife... we meet again! Something strait out of a horror movie! Man in the Mirror. You wont catch him because he knows right when you are going to look up and the reflection will turn right back to yourself! Watch out... Knife in the back!!!

91/365 Long legs!

I was messing around after photography class with a fellow student and she shot this of me. The light that you actually see in the left of the picture is not actually firing in this shot. It was not supposed to and didnt really need to be in the photo. But this shot is still very cool! Its really fun to see what you can do with little strobes!
