Well, my top 10 anyway.

The Obamas watching election coverage. This came from Barack Obama’s Flickr page. How cool is it that our new President has a Flickr page?  I’m so psyched! Is that word too 80’s?

Jessie Jackson on election night. There were a number of images and videos that made me teary eyed, but this one really stands out.

A woman with tuberculosis is comforted by her mother inside their home in Ngcina, Swaziland. It’s a great image but the main reason it caught my eye is because it’s one of the few black and white photos I’ve seen this year.

An Afghan woman feeding her one-month old baby. The remote, mountain region of Badakhshan has the highest maternity mortality rate in the world. I’m not a huge fan of religious art, but I’m liking the Madonna and Child thing. The lighting is incredible.

The photo tag says these are real people….actors promoting the release of Chuckie’s 20th anniversary DVD. Only in New York do people not pay attention to little doll murderers swinging meat cleavers around.

Kenyan boy screams as he sees policeman with baton approach the door of his home. Hundreds of police moved into the shantytown and did a house to house search for protestors after they clashed with supporters of Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga.

An earthquake struck south-west China on May 12 killing over 55,000 people. This woman was searching for her daughter and husband among the rumble.

A relative carries the body of a 4-year-old girl during her funeral in Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. This was from the most recent “troubles”.

Michelle Williams at Heath Ledger’s memorial service in Australia. To celebrate his life, everyone jumped into the ocean.

One of my own iPhone shots. My mother sitting by my father’s hospital bed as we waited for him to die. I was across the room looking out the window when I separated myself from the scene and snapped the photo as an observer.

The last image I have of him looking at the camera (iPhone) is up on Flickr but it’s too haunting and depressing to put here.

Um, Happy New Year. 🙁
