AN AMATEUUR--DICKSTER #4920959

Dorothy Neumann October 13, 2007

Thank you Dick. This is my all-time most popular photo ever. Although it wasn't a finalist at BetterPhoto, it was a Kodak Photo of the Day and it was also a winner at Photoshowdown.com. It was the only time I ever won a POTD at BetterPhoto, and as it came on Jan. 1 (2005), it was a great way to start the new year. #4921940
