Pleasure Bay, S. Boston, MA

Woo, hoo, baby!

I was really glad to catch some shots of Kite sufers and Wind sail surfers this past Friday on April 26. Especially since when I rode a couple buses and train coming all the way from out of state to try capturing some pictures last summer, I wasn't able to get any!

I give koodos to Chad, his friends and others out there doing their thing in such frigid temperatures. I barely manage to be out for the time I was on the shore taking pictures. I am imagine it had to a lot colder in the high winds with the occasional fall into the water as a result of those dying winds. "Well done, guys!"

I hope to see you all out there again on next visit into town.

The images here is just a small handful of what I am able to capture but I also have a slideshow of additional images at my website http://www.estellosbest.com/watersports/index.html.

Surfing the wind of Pleasure Bay, Boston, MA

Woo, woo, baby

I caught some nice shots of some pretty cool guys catching air this past weekend on Friday, April 26th. I took pictures of Chad and some of his friends kite surfing. I also got some shot of three other guys windsurfing too. It was incredibly cold out. I give koodos to those guy enjoy their sport in such frigid water temperatures. I don't even think I was out for half hour shooting them. I tried get out there earlier when the sun was out but I waiting for sister. I gave up waiting and heading out to shoot some pictures. I was driving own the road when I saw kites gliding in the air and made an immediate detour praising myself for following my instinct to drive the road I had not originally plan on driving down to shoot the city scape skyline. I figure the skyline will always be there (the building won't be moving anytime soon, right?) but last year when I came all the way from out of town on a couple of buses and a train to shoot kite surfers only to see there was no one (winds weren't strong enough I guess but it was a beautiful day), I'd chose to go shoot the kite surfers. You can view it at slideshow on my website: www.estellosbest.com.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by,

National Teenagers Pageant

Hello Everyone,

It's been a while. I did some work for a non-profit shooting girls for National Teenager pageant winners and contestants. It was quite interesting venture. It has also been a lot of work, hence, the time offline for a while. But I am back and this was one of the many things I had been doing lately.

Thanks for stopping by

Well, DJ it is quite simple, but, are you willing to do what is necessary, is the real question? You just have to choke on a game or at least a frame or two. Let a ball gutter. It's all 'bout the fun and socializing, right?... "Nah!" I know, I know. I'm not sure what you can do there, sweetie. I guess you're just gonna have to wing it and play it by ear. Don't do anything to drastic, I guess.

I know, I'll ask another guy (my 14 yrs hormone-ly charge and brutely honest, son, hold-on I'm calling my son into the room..). He said buy them dinner too. He's into having girls for friends now and wouldn't say something like "Destroy them all!" if he were playing Halo with his male counterparts. So he suggested buy them ice cream. I ask my son, "what about, buy them ice cream w/real ice in it (a small piece of jewelry, ha, ha, ha)? He just shook his head and said he had no idea. Sorry, D. I tried. But your friends would probably love my idea. ;-*

"Done, done & done'r!" Wooo Hooo!!!

Today was my very last day at school. I am now a college graduate. The very first in my family. I have achieved the once thought unthinkable of goals. I have procastinated, put-off and doubted my ability to even go to college let alone finish. Every time I tried to move forward in life; life got in the way in some form or fashion. It was a long road and a very hard road. At times it seem like a very lonely dark tunnel I didn't think I would ever see the light of day shining through, showing me the way "but" with the love, help and support of my children along with my very close, supportive, and, very dear friend, John. I have arrived! It wasn't easy but here I am.

"Look out world, here I come!" I am a woman on a mission to fulfill a dream of acomplishments; laying a foundation for my children that shows them it can be done no matter the obstacles, a road to assist others while giving back to my community and with my partner in crime by my side, both of us volunteering, working, suceeding and proving the nay-sayers wrong; the possibilities are endless.

Thank you very, very much boys for your love, support and patience. Thank you too, John, my partner in crime, for being there for me. It made all the difference in the world and I love you all for it.

"Thank!"

Happy Birthday, Christien

Happy Birthday, my darlin'

You are my shining star. You are always there when I am feeling bad and you've always sense it even if I don't say anything, even when you were very young. You are the one that does his best to keep everyone together when things get bad. I love you and I appreciate your willingness to make things right when you've done wrong with your sincere apology. You are now a young man, who will achieve greatness in this world. You may not always have confidence in your abilities but I believe in you, honey. I know you will suprise everyone who has not seen in you what I see in you, a winning achiever, mediator and leader. Your artistry, writing skills, and knack for computers will take you very far in this world of technology.

Stay strong "elite"

The Incredible Edible Egg

Well folks,

Here I am again, posting to blog again. Yesterday, I was shooting some images for potential condentenders for my portfolio and this wonderful image was created while working with great friend and photo buddy, John, "somebody had to hold that egg." It's a pretty cool shot. We're proud of it.
