I would definitely fix them. The meta data is important to your site. It tells searchers and engines what your pages are about and leads to how relevant they are compared to your competition.

Hi David,
You don't have to but my advice is to fix them they are fairly easy fixes to do and they all add up to helping your site even if there is not one magic fix, a good example could be seen here - http://moz.com/blog/ugly-seo-mess-recovery-case-study where a lot of these little things all added up to helping one big thing. Remember things like title & description tags can also help CTR in SERPs which is always helpful. A great place if your title tag is too long is here - http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool
Hope that helps.

What's the best way to handle crawling of photo gallery?
When you have a photo gallery with many search filters and loads and loads of pages, is it best to block all the filters and use google's pagination code? Ex: http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter This site has pages for many different queries. While the page titles are unique, the pages are showing duplicated content.
