I think I've probably said that such and such a photo is my favourite of the year already (probably Rouge Rouge's polaroid of Superman pants hanging on a washing line maybe?). I think I'm allowed more than one favourite a year and it's my blog so I'm definitely allowed to make the rules up as I go along. I can't really explain it very well, but there's something about the 'I really couldn't give a shit' expression in this photo that makes it so compelling – I love it.

Fantastic street portrait by Slightly Esoterik as part of his 100 Strangers Project. It's a lovely idea and he's got some great shots out of it.
