Brooklyn Hilary's photostream

I play it cool and dig all jive,
That's the reason I stay alive.
My motto as I live and learn,
Is dig and be dug in return.
- Langston Hughes

I recently moved to Los Angeles after living in NYC for 17 years, 11 of which were in Park Slope, Brooklyn - a place that will always seem like home to me.

I have a BA in English Literature from NYU and an MBA from Fordham, have worked at IFC, Bravo, and NBC.

I gave all that up to become a photographer a few years ago. I'm having a great time at it!

Tony Lupo says:

"Thank you Hillary and Fauxtobooth for solving my social network profile picture problems... I've been dealing with mediocre pictures of myself for so long, and having a ridiculous and awesome Fauxtobooth picture from this past BarCamp was just the thing I needed.

Awesome!"

"Hilary came in and took BarCampNYC3 from awesome to super-awesome singlehandedly. The Fauxtobooth (along with Hilary's encouragement, smile, and downright amazing pictures) was incredible. Thanks HIlary!!!"

John McNab says:

"Brooklyn Hilary is my favorite Hilary on flickr; my favorite Hilary who isn't running for president; and my favorite Hilary with one 'L'.

Not to mention that she takes boffo pictures, and that she seems an all-around good sort."

"Hilary is funny, outgoing and inspiring. She doesn't just take photography, she makes it fun.
Thanks Hilary for bringing us along too."

Szmytke says:

"Hilary is possibly the nicest, deeply in love, Kinder egg obsesive that I know, and she may yet turn out to be Queen of the postcards.
Oh and she is a pretty spiffy photographer as well"

"Hilabean's photos grab me in a special way. Wait, that sounded dirty..........

Her vision of the beautiful nuances within everyday life drew me in immediately. These photographs take me places that I miss, and show me people in ways I have never seen. Such a great sense of exuberance in her images. I always look forward to new ones."
