Seattle Gets Drunk on Obama
- 16 years ago
Didn't get out on November 2nd to celebrate Barack Obama's victory? Seattle Post-Intelligencer Photographer Josh Trujillo's video will put you there -- on First Avenue around midnight, when things got crazy.
"It's a beautiful thing out here tonight, going on," one woman said to the camera. "I'm from Seattle and I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Never."
Trujillo captured revelers jumping, yelling, standing on cars, screaming into cell phones, posing with Obama cutouts, drinking on a party bus and asking everyone for hugs.
The video was shot with a prototype of Canon's EOS 5d MKII SLR camera capable of shooting HD video.
