Sooner than ever, it’s the last day of the month, which means that once again our 30-image monthly allotment of Associated Press photos, for which we pay good old-fashioned cash on the barrelhead, is about to expire. If we don’t use up our images, in the manner of vacation days in the new year of a crappy job, they don’t roll over to the next month, and that’s a waste of good Associated Press imagery. Please enjoy this gallery of images of people, places, and things REFLECTED (IN SUNGLASSES).
