2012 Results

My challenge for 2012 was to try and post 250 United States and 250 International samples. I just made it with the United States, but didn't even come close with the International. Below is a listing of all the samples I photographed in 2012. The challenge for 2013 is simpler. I'm calling it A Sample a Day. The goal is a combination of 365 United States and International samples. That's probably more realistic.

UNITED STATES 250!!! INTERNATIONAL 59
