2012 A Year in Photo Review

December 30, 2012 by pbenjay

Today the New York Times published several photos published during 2012. The spread included several photos depicting events and newsworthy subjects specific to each month of the year. Many of them were distressing; There were photos of riots, death, war, and the aftermath of storms. By the time I finished looking at all of them and reading the captions, I felt that 2012 was largely filled with strife, grief, mayhem and despair. It made me think about how I felt about 2012. It wasn’t a great year for me and oh how I would love to greet the New Year with a thanks for a wonderful year instead of thank God, that’s over as has been a montra these past few years!

However, if you follow this blog you know I don’t bring too much of my real personal life to it. If I have an argument with my husband,who amongst you really cares! If I gain 5 or lose 10 lb. how interesting could that be for you? I do like to rant in the blog, I do like to vent about politics, events, movies etc in the blog but I’m not going to list all the issues that may have made this year not quite as good as some others. Because, as my dear friend, Susan, and I like to say; “It is what it is”. And that’s a fact Jack!! And to further commit myself to that idea, I gave Susan and myself bracelets that proclaim in shiny silver, ” It Is What It Is” – Amen!

But back to the photos…I thought I could capture a few online but I was wrong. The NY Times has done whatever websites do to prevent you from downloading their photos. BUT, I did find several sites with lots of photos of the highlights of this year. Here are few that tell the tales of 2012.
