Wishing the Wetpixel community a very Happy (Gregorian) New Year. If you have already celebrated, we hope you saw in 2012 in style, and if you have yet to do so, may your festivities be joyful. We wish you all the very best for 2012, and hope that it will include fantastic opportunities for capturing imagery underwater.
