2008 Joy in Brooklyn
posted by on November 5 at 15:06 PM
Lizzie Leitzell grew up in Seattle and now lives in Brooklyn. She was out in the streets last night, taking pictures, when Obama won. I particularly love her photo, above, of a pair of cops joining in the celebration. There are lots more terrific pictures at Leitzell’s blog.
UPDATE: It seems that not all the cops out in Brooklyn last night joined in the celebration: “Cops Rough Up Partying Barack Hipsters on Burg’s Bedford Ave.” Via Towleroad.
She's a pretty shitty photographer for someone with a photography site.
to "still angry about prop 8," no need to be nasty. Maybe you would appreciate her beautiful photos of a same-sex marriage in San Francisco last august. http://edlphotography.com/blog/?p=210#more-210
Those pictures are opportunistic and shitty.
hipsters should be roughed up. Whats the problem?
YO REITERATING MY COMMENT ON EARLIER NYC POST ABOUT HOW CROWN HEIGHTS, BED STUY, AND BUSHWICK WERE SURPRISINGLY UNBUMPING FOLLOWING THE SPEECH LAST NIGHT
Ah, no pleasing some people... Great picture!
Roughing people up for their political opinion is OK? Well I never.
@1, @3: trust the internets to find something assholish to say about a spontaneous outpouring of happy awesomeness. booooooo
Dear Sir Brendan Kileyd; as someone writing from London, I find your comments bizarre. Of course they're "opportunistic": the photrographer seized a great opportunity, and saved it for people all over the world to share, in a way that the people in the photos would completely endorse. That's what photographers should do. As for "shitty", the same term strangely used by both yourself and "still angry about prop 8", well, that's obviously nonsense. Perhaps you're a disappointed Palin supporter expressing your grief? I suggest you keep it to yourself...
OH HAI PRETTY LADIES IN UNIFORMS I AM BAD HANDCUFF ME.
