I'd find a calendar that visualises how many photographs there are per 
day helpful.
Say the background color for each day in the month / month name was 
shaded according to the number of photos on that day.
This is because I'll often have a whole batch of photos clustered around 
an event (wedding / party) or trip, and that's usually what I'm trying 
to select...

I also think it would be helpful to select the start and end date from 
the same calendar rather than two (click and drag to select)
