Barack Obama's longtime campaign photographer David Katz took 82 pictures of the soon-to-be first family election night. Later, Katz uploaded them to Yahoo's (YHOO) photo-sharing site, Flickr. Gawker's Ryan Tate puts it in perspective:
In some prior election year, thebehind-the-scenes footage of a president-elect's first moments mighthave been captured by a photographer for, say, Life, or at leastdistributed through a glossy magazine like that. It must have been somesmall comfort to Barack Obama to be able to rely instead on a longtime photographer of his own, David Katz,at such an intimate moment, and at such a tender one, a day after thedeath of his grandmother. As for distribution? Photography's bridge tothe 21st century, Flickr.
The set is so popular it's crashed Flickr, so go see the best shots at Gawker.(And, of course, Yahoo isn't making any money off this -- when we'relucky enough to get the photos to load, we're not seeing any ads.)
