This is one of my favorite photos. It is of my mother-in-law in the late 50's or very early 60's participating in "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" contest in California (likely San Francisco.)
I love it for many reasons.
one - the whole framing is perfect and I love the blurry head in the foreground
two - the man in the top hat.
three - the dollar bill on the ground
four - the people looking on
five - her genuine, youthful smile
We're hanging it on our wall right now so I thought I'd post it just for fun.
Great, great picture, funny story!!!! I first thought she was Romy Schneider! Have a good time at BYW.xx Gudy
