May is National Photo Month and to celebrate About Photography is selecting a photo each day as photo of the day! Our selected photo of the day is posted on the blog and all selected images will also be posted in this image gallery. Images are selected from those posted on the About Photography forum during May 2012. At the end of May, you will be given a chance to vote on your favorite photos and a "viewer's choice" gallery will be created from those winners.
