  "I love Dottie. She's always around for a good time and up for everything. Always gracious when I call her lost or confused which bus or train to get on. And now, everytime I see a bike in good light I think of Dottie, can never execute bike shots on her level, but i think of her."

  "DottieboBottie sees the world with a panache and skill that simply astonishes. Whether it is a bridge or a train or urban junk or herself, she has the gift to see the photographic potential and bring it to us. And her revealed Flickrself shows a range of emotions that spans the entire human experience.
  
  I have had the amazing good luck to have met Miss BoBottie. She is gracious and fun-loving... everything that her photos display. In that way, I know she is honest in her photography, and I like her all the more for that."

  "I like DottieboBottie even more than peanut butter-soymilk-yogurt-banana milkshakes. She always makes me smile. You can't go wrong with a girl who can always make you smile.

  "I had been stalking Lady Dottie's stream well before making contact. Her 3/4 portraits should be used in every American Apparel ad - she IS sarsaparilla with a shot of Jagermeister. I actually have no idea what that means....Anyway, too bad she moved to San Fran before meeting her. Maybe one other day I, too, will have the opportunity to shoot with her even though she has a Nikon which makes Baby Jesus cry :("

  "Dottie is everything Bernat says and more.
  She's genuine and honest.
  Inspired and inspiring.
  She's ten pounds of hilarious in a five pound bag.
  She does for boots what Stonehenge did for rocks.
  But mostly, she's just a razor-sharp spot-on photographer.
  Watch and learn.
  Dottie ROCKS!"

  "Dottie's stream
  is
  one that grabs you-
  visually-
  and emotionally
  from the get.
  
  i've never seen bikes, fire hydrants, train stations, and rust
  have
  so
  much
  personality
  before.
  that's what she does,
  she gives the subjects of her photos a life,
  a story,
  and she
  does it
  so
  damn
  well.
  
  :)
  
  hooray for DottieboBottie.
  hooray for love.
  
  :)"

  "She's a true wizardess of hydrant (and padlocks and grit and metros and urban miscellanea) shots with elfish eyes. She's a veritable whore of fonts and grit and colour and awesome details paired with a great sense of humour and openness. She takes office bathroom selfies listening to music and her hairdo never ceases to amaze. : )
  
  In one word: she rawks.
  
  Wait that was 2 words..."

  "Apart from being absolutely stunningly beautiful and a wonderful character, Dottie is a ruddy brilliant photographer! I often peruse her stream and enjoy the details in life that others would simply miss. The subtly pleasing compositions, a rusty rail, almost anything metal becomes and interesting subject as soon as Dottie points her camera at it. This is all before mentioning her 365 days! Let's just say I'm utterly jealous. Rock on Dottie! (:"

  "So hey, get this.
  
  If you are a decent human being and you don't know Dots, your life is lacking something really special. Period.
  
  Her photography has grown since she added a DSLR to her repertoire, but it wasn't lacking before. She's just increased the wonderfulness. : )
  
  Color, Grit, DC Life, Architecture, Bedhead, Southern Rock, Light, Beauty, Humor and the occasional phase of addiction to camera tossing. These are just some of the ingredients of Dottie's stream. If you need more reasons than those... Move along. Sheesh.
  
  Me? I am just proud to call her my friend. : ) Word."

  "ms. dottie makes the world go round, i tell ya. every single time i dive into her stream, i find myself swimming in an ocean of fabulousness. she will find anything -- ANYTHING -- and make art out of it. and not just pretty-to-look-at art, but serious art with soul and spirit and humor and wit and skill. she's also hyFRIKKINlarious, and she doesn't take herself too seriously, and she a big huge beating heart that will warm anyone who comes within a hundred thousand miles of her.
  
  alls i can say is, i'm thrilled to bits that i can call this woman a friend."

  "Talented, compassionate and real. Three words that describe Dottie in my mind. She has a very creative eye, capturing her everyday world through her own unique view. I always look forward to seeing her photos pop up on my contact page. And she sent me heart suckers!"

  This girl is a classic all the way around and top to bottom. I had the pleasure of meeting her spending the afternoon in the National Portrait Gallery with her. She has a sharp eye and a great taste in music. You might pay the city to ride the metro, but she owns it!"

  "Dottie. What can I say? I mean she just rocks! She has the best attitude and craziest self portraits. Her subway series is gallery worthy, and her homeless photos make you shed a tear.
  I am glad to have her as a flickr friend as well as a true friend."

  "Watching Dottie tap into the life around her has been a wonderful ride. With a blossoming style, rockin' sense of humor and down-to-earth attitude, her stream is one I look forward to watching for a long time to come."

  "It's been so much fun getting to know Dottie through her pics. Her self-portraits are refreshing: they're full of vivacity, humor, vim and verve. Her street photography is poignant and revealing, both in terms of what she shoots and how she shoots them. There's also excellent composition to be had; I personally love her Metro shots!
  
  To top it all off, Dottie is a great person, humorous and kind. I'm so lucky she's a fellow DCer. She's the best!"

  "Dottie is a Redskins fan so I liked her immediately.
  Then I got to know her and now I just love her to bits.
  She is funny, giving, compassionate and has a joy for life that is infectious. All of this comes through in her photography.
  Take a tour of Dottie's world. You will not be disappointed.
  And, for the record, I forgive her for wearing that damn Steelers jersey.
  A bet is a bet."

  "dot is sassy, funny, crazy, smart and real. she is one of my very first flickr friends, and i have seen her grow from a "picture taker" into a true photographer. she documents what sparks her interest - her town, her love, and her love of classic rock and roll. her photos run the gamut from artistic and serious to downright hilarious, and she is never afraid to make fun of herself for her fellow flickrer's laughter. i repeat NEVER. and those boots! we all need a pair of those boots.
  
  one day dottie and i will get together in some bar in some town and get good and drunk. and all of flickr will benefit from the photos we will take. dottie rules."
