Queen of her castle

Filed under General, Photojournalism by bob hammerstrom at 4:03 pm

“I am the queen of the castle.” Those were some of the words sung by three-year-old Isabel Gerstein of Nashua, N.H., while she twirled and danced in front of a large wall mirror outside her bedroom. Business editor Ashley Smith and I were at “The Castle” recently to interview the Gerstein family.

Her mom and dad, Stephanie and Jeff took us on a tour of the odd-looking home along Lund Road. After all, there is a turret on the front and a weather vane with a witch atop the house. Ashley’s story ran today in The Telegraph.

While they talked with Ashley, Isabel began singing and dancing by herself in front of a huge mirror. Her song went something like, ” I am the queen of the castle.” Although this would have been more interesting accompanied by the sounds of her singing, or video, this still image of her caught in her own world shows the innocence of youth and the dreams of a child.
