It's hard knowing what to photograph sometimes. When I spent a summer in Russia in 1992, I skipped all the truly timeless things going on around me -- babushkas outside metro stations selling a single toothbrush in the newly capitalist version of their country, lines of men standing beside dull-gray 'beer trucks' to fill bottles with the single worst beer in this world. Instead I snapped photo after photo of onion-shaped domes that will look the same in 440 years.
But may sometimes I get it more or less right. Like these three contenders for the CUTEST PHOTO OF ALL TIME [ANIMÉ CATEGORY].
It's up to you which wins. Use the poll to the right to vote. And unlike Iran's recent election, your vote will be counted:

It's up to you which wins. Use the poll to the right to vote. And unlike Iran's recent election, your vote will be counted:
1) A RAT WITH A MAP
This photo was taken with something called film in a one-room, couldn't-get-lost-if-you-were-very-boozed-up Belize library. There is very little about it that doesn't make me happy. The most underrated part? A tie between the font-breaking 'M' and the rat's unmatching legs.
2) THE PIG LIKES MATH (BUT NEEDS GLASSES)
In San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico, a school wall is decorated with a sight-impaired pig with a fondness for math (and an equally extreme disdain for pants). I like the hat/bow-tie color coordination.
3) THE BEAR IS MASSAGED (GENTLY) BY VERY LARGE BEES
This bear, in the weird Dalat 'Crazy House' in Vietnam, is exceptionally fond of fellow creatures. He shares his honey with all. And is rewarded for his gesture with a massage by bees the size of marmots. (Yes, that's a bed in the background. The Crazy House is kind of a hotel too. I stayed there once. Never again.)
