The landing gear is down and 2012 is drawing to a close. And it's time for the first annual “Picks of the Year.”
We are asking our listeners and readers to contribute to our list of the best and most popular photography-related gear, hardware, software, news, tips, tricks, trends or people of the year by letting us know by letting us know what you think. This is an expansion of the “Picks of the Week” segment on the show, but on a much larger scale. What moved the needle this year? What took photography to the next level? What set the stage for 2013?
