I would like to thank everyone for visiting this blog in 2012 and look forward seeing you guys in 2013!
2012 was a very exciting year for photographers and video shooters and even if we don’t have the latest lens or camera body in our bag, we have very few excuses for not taking pictures or shooting video.
