I'm baaaack! Still jet lagged, battered and bruised, but I've been editing through all the photos to post a "few" for you...There is a reason why there are photo editors in this world. It can be a daunting task. I want to post some of my favorites and then go back and post action and behind the scenes photos, videos and a recap from each day (it's a nice thought). So, I've first pulled a "couple" edits for you to check out and then I'll start the day by day recaps, which I hope to have all posted before 2012. I hope you enjoy the photos!
