My 15 Minutes of Fame

Hi, Rhonda. What a lovely surprise to see you on the front page of The Daily News, and in color! Such a nice story, it reminds me that I haven't seen you in a looooong time....

I want to thank everyone for the out-pouring of support and kind words about my work and the article. There were about 240 total likes and 73 total comments...I am very grateful for all of the support.

I have been doing shelter photos since May of 2013. I went through every months worth of photos and counted how many animals I have taken photos of since the beginning. Almost 1000 animals...that's just crazy!
