30 Photos That Capture the Best Moments of People's Lives

Late Monday night, Sports Illustrated writer Richard Deitsch tweeted, "How many of you have a photograph of the single best moment of your life? If so, what a gift." A flood of people tweeted back at him with photos of them at their happiest.

Deitsch's inquiry was inspired by this photo of a fellow sports writer celebrating with his brother, who had just won an NCAA hockey championship at Yale.

Responses to Deitsch's question included everything from proposals, weddings, the birth and adoption of children to beating life-threatening illnesses. Thirty of our favorite emotional tweets are below — and yes, we teared up, just a little, while writing this.

What's the happiest moment of your life? Was it captured on camera?

  1. Marching_band_in_italy

    Marching Band Man in Italy by Jen Pollack Bianco

    Expert says: I love this photo. I wish I took it. The contrast of the suits against the street, the shape of the tubas, and of course the expression on that guy's face, perfection.

  2. Paradise_in_the_phillipines

    A Paradise in the Philippines by Nelson

    Expert says: I look at this photo and I want to be there, that's a good photo. The color contrast in the cool and warm tones paired with the quirky subject make for a dynamic image.

  3. My_ways

    My Ways by Piper Nigrum

    Expert says: Once again, the photo is quirky, it's unique, it stands out. It made me smile. I like the lines, the diagonal on top, the horizontals on the floor. And I want that jacket.

  4. Freedom

    Freedom by putrimelatika

    Expert says: Great integration of imagery, design, typography and illustration. There is a quietness and simplicity that make this image really beautiful.

  5. Watching_me

    Watching Me, Watching Me by dj_nvve

    Expert says: Really, really creative, great use of color and texture, I think of the galaxy when I look at this image. But the key for me is that the photographer left just enough information in the figures of the head, tree, light post and camera phone to keep the image grounded in reality.

  6. Know_your_worth

    Know Your Worth by ivanvega

    Expert says: A striking image. It's all about the light and the silhouette and the simplicity of the lines. And for me, the tiny detail of the rim of the glasses makes the picture.

  7. Standing_top

    Standing On Top by Bob Manley

    Expert says: What's great about this picture is that what's not included in the frame is as important as what is. The shadow is a creative way to inform the viewer what actually is going on in this picture.

  8. Reflection

    Reflection by Camilo Zaffora

    Expert says: This picture is all about the layers in the reflections and the play between foreground, middle ground, and background. I actually don't know what is what, which is why I love it.

  9. Love_my_dog

    I Love My Dog! by Claudio Ripoli

    Expert says: Sometimes it's all about subject matter. I don't know whose expression I like better, the guy's expression or the dog's.

  10. Being_myself

    Being Myself by Elsie Ritchie

    Expert says: A simple, beautiful portrait. Beautiful depth of field.

  11. Botched_polaroid

    These Hands And a Botched Polaroid by Heyazi

    Expert says: Once again, creativity stands out. This image has a cool collage feel to it.

  12. Music_food_wearing_black

    Music, Food, and Wearing Black by Mira Sumanti

    Expert says: Sometimes, you just got to be yourself.
