The Obama family follows the election closely, by David Katz

One of the things we've loved about the Obama campaign was their embracing of social media like Flickr. Their constant stream of photos was a great source of the progress of the campaign and gave viewers access to events in a campaign that have never before been seen. Even better? This new Election Night behind-the-scenes set which features some amazing pics, giving us an unprecedented look at what it was like for the Obama family and campaign on that historic night.
