It's been a hectic and amazing 2010 for all of us at JBP, and as the year comes to a close it seems fitting to take a retrospective look at all that has happened here on the HHS! blog over the past months. Although HHS! has officially wrapped up for this year—the five stupendous 2010 Hot Shots were announced just this past October —we can't help but keep looking back over the really, really sensational group of contenders from this year's competition.
There are a whole bunch of submissions that we haven't been able to shake from our collective consciousnesses, and we thought we'd take the opportunity (in the downtime between competitions) to look back at some of the images that we featured in (the more than 100!) contender posts over the course of this just-past round.
Have a look at just a few of our favorite images that came in this season, (and click on each artist's name to read a little more about his or her work!)
