The Real Estreya's photostream
|
I'm a Minnesotan and a hobby photographer -- I take about 750 - 1,000 shots a month. More in summer when my prairie and garden are in bloom! I work with children (including my own three lovely girls) and animals. Between the gardens, kids, and pets, I feel I have lots of great subjects! I also love to photograph to document my family's history: birthdays, special events, common things. When I have free time, I knit, crochet, read, scrapbook, and play online: Flickr, Facebook, and DP (www.pgdp.net) are my favorites.
My first Project 365 ran from 6 May 2009 to 5 May 2010. It was a mix of self-portraits and miscellaneous shots of the day. Quite a few shots were taken as I participated in theme groups.

"Well what can I say about Alicia ... first she an extremely talented photographer. Hey, she is a Minnesotan, so maybe it is in the water!! All you have to do is look at the variety in her pictures. Everything from her neat family, to nature photos (these are detailed and very down to earth) and she even throws in some photos of herself. I first saw photos of her in her yoga practice (which I too need to get back in the groove of doing). Cute, fun and very personable is how I would describe The Real Estreya!!! I imagine if I I ever met her and her family, this is exactly what I would notice from the beginning!!! Please folks, you really should take a look at her photos. You really don't know what you are missing out on!!"

"The Real Estreya.... one of the realist women on flickr.
I love love love how you lay it all out there for us, girl. Your good days, your bad days, your hopes, fears, aspirations... your love of your family and the fears and hopes that come with loving them so greatly... I feel like I really do know you.
AND you pay attention to others as well. You always make me feel like a million bucks when I am down. I am SOOO grateful to you for that.
Your photos are photos of joy, hope, change, and LIFE. I always look forward to your photo of the day. It feels like a continued conversation to come to your page... I always find out a little more about you. And I love that!!"18th August, 2009
