Year End Review!

I'm taking a page from our friend Andrew Cooper and writing a year end review of my favorite photos and events from the last year!  It seems somehow appropriate that our 100 post of the year be on New Year's Eve, and review the highlights of 2012.  For details, go to our blog post from that date.  So here we go!
