A proper portrait. A time of laughter. A time of sorrow.

Today's batch of winners brings the site total of POTD winning photos to an even 10,000! Thank you again to everyone who has taken part in the site since it began in September 2006. I know there's been some bumps along the way, but I hope we will continue to be around for many more years to come!

Today's number is recognized by not one but two winners in the 10,000 POTD Category. The first is by Raymond Pauly of Costa Rica with a 10,000 Colones note. The second is from Marcia Smith of the USA with a simple shot of the 10,000 Maniacs CD "Our Time in Eden" -- Ironically, this is one of my personal favorite albums too.

10,000 winners has been achieved by 896 different photographers, using 223 different cameras from 16 different manufacturers. The photos have been captured in 95 different countries. You guys are great!

Thanks for helping us reach this milestone!

If all things go as planned, Tuesday April 21, 2009 will bring the 10,000th POTD selection for the site since we opened in September of 2006.

They aren't picked in order, so all winners for that day can be viewed with a special distinction.

To commemorate this milestone, we've opened up a special category that will be for that day only. Represent the number 10,000 in some creative way and photograph it! Regular site rules apply, though extra editing steps can be taken. Your entry should still be a digital photograph though. No out and out photoshop creations.

Thank you so much to our readers and members who have made this site what it is and helping us to reach this 10,000th POTD!

CLARIFICATION: There have been some beautiful shots entered and these have been moved to the regular categories. The goal here is to represent the NUMBER "10,000" in a creative way.
