The kiss was sweet and I hope they get to know the joy of looking back on a long and beautiful life together.

If not, then dreams will have to do.

The "kiss" photo is a further reminder of your Mothers best advice which is "always wear clean underwear to a riot".

Some people have no romance in their hearts.

I remember when the kiss was first published. There were so many posters here claiming that it must have been photoshopped because the couple were in sharp focus and the back ground wasn't. It amazed me that so many people did not have a clue about how a camera works and had never heard of such a thing as depth of field. I fear that photography will soon be a lost art.

"The Kiss" ranks up there with the best photo of the decade.

I love the "Stop Harper" photo as well. Very iconic.

The Kiss is art, Stop Harper is politics. Art wins handsdown.

Booo! Either it was a bad year for photos or you guys dont have a clue what makes a great photograph.
What you have here is mostly a collection of events. Anyone with a camera could have captured the same thing.
The Vancouver riot kiss and the pride dancer are great photos.
