The one of the elderly lesbian couple who had just gotten married is quite sweet, although I suppose you could argue it's tragic that they've had to wait so long...

It says something when (No. 28) a photo of a photo of a dead second rate pop star makes it into a list of 'the 45 most powerful imaged of 2011'.
passtherizla: I can assure you that your friend's brother may not have made it into that list, but he is by no means forgotten.

I like. Sets an example to many IMHO.
It is an american list, doesn't diminish the power of any of the images but is definitely skewed.
Not seeing why the nationality of a publisher has anything to do with 45 photos a that are from anywhere but North America, save five.
On a lighter note.
How Boss is this guy?

At a quick look I counted 20 american ones. Skewed.Not seeing why the nationality of a publisher has anything to do with 45 photos a that are from anywhere but North America, save five.
Depressingly quite a few peaceful protesters getting a kicking.
Elfin that pic is indeed class, thought there was some discussion of being staged/not a kiss...? I also liked wreckers
No 1 looks staged, not saying it is, just looks it.
Volcano and dust storm are epic, the ferry boat on the house is the one I most remember seeing at the time.

I had to recount. I apologise for my inaccuracy, but you still can't blame a news release for cooler things happening in the western hemisphere. That's silly.
--P.S. Not trolling, just saying, there is too much racism going around the boards tonight.

C'mon, who wants to see/read/hear about positive and uplifting events........
........not that I can think of anything particularly P&U from the global news this year 😕
I agreed it was skewed didn't say it was necessarily bad, it was presumably compiled by an american. Look at a tibetan compiled 45 pics of the year and I'm sure they will be very different. (or german or lithuanian or chinese)
Teej read piefaces link, gotta get a few smiles from that 😀
