Effing the Lens: 2012 : THE YEAR IN REVIEW

The new year just started, but just like an arrow, we can't aim forward and hit our target unless we pull back and gather force...
As I strongly pull my arrow this 2013, I look back and give thanks to those who supported and made 2012 worthwhile.
Here are some highlights of the glorious year that was 2012!
