Are we really just two weeks from the start of 2010? It may not feel like it, but indeed it's time to cross another year off the list. Over the past few days I've started putting together the my rough 2010 schedule, and it should be another awesome year. But before we move into 2010 we've got to finish our look back at 2009.

Here's my final batch of '09 Photos of the Year.
