What is one photo that defines the year 2004?

I assume Bush winning the election comes to mind, but unless there is a real defining photo of that moment, try to come up with something else.

Here are mine.
1. Janet Jackson Superbowl "Wardrobe Malfunction" (I listed it in the links instead of positing the image, although it's blurred out in case anyone is offended)
2. Pictures start to emerge of the torture happening to prisoners at Abu Ghraib

Asker's rating:

I think that's an image not many people will ever forget, what a horrible year. I post these everyday, the '90s should be better :)

Oh this one is easy...still brings a triumphant tear to my eyes.
I lived just an hour north of Boston at the time. I didn't grow up a Red Sox fan, but there was just something magical about living in that place at that time. We watched the news coverage all night.

I agree, I was going to school in Boston at the time and it was hard not to get caught up in the whole thing!

Wow. Bush being re-elected is significant.... but how about the tsunami?

I can find a dozen other tsunami photos that show damage on a small or large scale, but stuff like sports has to take a back seat to this.

In the summer of 04 Reagan's funeral had some pretty memorable photographs, I wouldn't say it defined the entire year, but it was one of the 5 biggest events on tv.
