When I grow up I want to run a diner in honor of my grandma Betty. Until then I shoot people, places and things part time for money with my Canon 60D.

Darn. This thing runs on battery. Oh, well. Where were ? Ah. At home. Anyway, she is a totally awesome photographer. I mean her photos are. Shit. Lisa is awesome too. Not that I met her, but... darn! She has a great sense of humor, captures Americana so well you wanna visit the subject for the photo immediately. (Expect for that icy, sticky thing from last winter).

"Lisa’s depth of experience, brilliantly creative insight, quirky style, soulfulness and eye for vantage points and compositions make her photos compelling and meaningful. She has raw talent, is highly motivated to please her clients, and a sense of humor that helps put her models and assistants at ease and makes for a very pleasant shoot. Lisa is reliable, dependable, and super sexy. I would hire Lisa for my own personal photographer, psychoanalyst, and masseuse. You should just hire her to take lots and lots of pretty cool photos."
Read lessLet me first say that I think deadbetty is one of the meanest women on the internet. She'll find your weakness and poke at it until you want to scream in agony. She's like salt in a wound. She's the thorn in the lion's paw. She's the pea under the princess' mattress. She's the sand in your eye. She's the grease f… Read more
Let me first say that I think deadbetty is one of the meanest women on the internet. She'll find your weakness and poke at it until you want to scream in agony. She's like salt in a wound. She's the thorn in the lion's paw. She's the pea under the princess' mattress. She's the sand in your eye. She's the grease fire burning down your house. She's the cold snap that ruins your Florida vacation. She's the H1 in H1N1. She is a lot of things, but nothing more so than a fantastic photographer. Like Ferris Bueller on the Clarinet, she can boldly say, "Not one lesson." A natural born talent, she takes photographs of things you would walk by every day and never see. She makes these everyday items into art that you kick yourself for missing. Oh and all that stuff I said about her being mean, none of that is really true. She acts tough but that is truly an act. She's supportive and encouraging. I'm proud to call Deadbetty a friend, if just a tad jealous of her oodles and oodles of talent. As Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds would say, "This crazy chic is teh awesome." Oh, and she has a ton of testimonials, too. But none of those people dedicated an entire set on their photo-stream to her style. SUCK IT, OTHER PEOPLE! (UPDATED!!!!) Lisa Sullivan has spent a lifetime cultivating her particular sense of weirdness. Not even she knew that ignoring her teachers, sneaking out to get drunk and sleep with truckers, collecting cats like your old maid aunt, and slinging booze at biker bars would turn her into the amazing artist that she is now. As Darth Vader said, "You can't fake this shit, not even with the power of the Dark Side." Lisa will capture you, your event, your children, your pets or your genitals in a way that no other photographer can. Your essence will be amplified like a guitar at a Judas Priest concert. Your eyes will ring for days.
Read lessI want to go to DeadBetty-way way way behinds diner... If the food is as good as the pictures i'll get fat.... fatter
Her photostream is the antidote for rigor mortis!
She had me at hello. Lisa is my biggest inspiration and I love her. If she ever wanted to adopt me, I'd be down for it.
Lisa was the bomb in Phantoms, yo.
Lisa's photostream is not for the squeamish or faint of heart :-) But, if you love the unusual, humor, dare I say magical (?), this is the place for you. Her processing makes me drool...she gets the most wonderful tones. I am always amazed at her never-ending talents. Plus, she is a sweetheart
Lisa's eye is skewed and wonderful. I can't wait for her to open up her diner because I know her food will be as delicious and off center as her photographic aesthetic. I quaff carouses to her and her photographs....
As well as being extremely funny and entertaining DeadBetty is an excellent photographer and artist. Don’t believe me, have a look through her wonderful photostream. You rock Lisa!!!! Thanks for being here and keepin' it real.
DB takes pictures I love in colours that are so cool and edgy. The grit and the beer and the pizza and the bar and the waiting rooms and the people and the whole fantastic palpable urban truth, done with such wit and art and style; what more could you possibly want?
deadbetty is one of my most favourite photographers on flickr. i love her humorous, off kilter, view of small town america. my day is not complete without my deadbetty fix!
The absolute Queen of Americana. That was what attracted this boy from the UK to her stream in the first place. She don't mind swearing either which was another thing that fucking attracted me.
Pure “Americana” with a kazoo! No holds barred philosophy on life (see her flickr tags and post titles). I was wary of her at first, but then, I saw the buttered toast. Now completely hooked especially once the onion rings got posted. Her images are absolutely unique. Hands down hi-la-rious AND so on the mark. I… Read more

Now completely hooked especially once the onion rings got posted. Her images are absolutely unique. Hands down hi-la-rious AND so on the mark. I could keep going with the accolades, but then I’d be bordering on cheesy and I know she wouldn’t appreciate my getting all wishy-washy. You make me laugh!

There are plenty of great photographers on flickr but not so many who have developed their own individual style. I love Lisa's shots. I love Lisa's style. I can tell which shots are hers immediately. They never fail to amuse, delight and inspire. Her colour pallet is her own. She has a way of showing ordinary things and making them extraordinary. If I was forced (gun to the head) to pick a series of hers that was my favourite I would go for her diner shots. Sweet. Oh, and don't forget the tags now. She is a master of those too.

Lisa is hands-down one of the coolest people on Flickr. Not only does she understand that I have a cool porn name, but she also understands that there's humor in just about everything. I love her style, and the kinds of things that draw her eye. Her photos are always colorful, visually arresting, and blah blah blah -- all that good stuff you expect from a photographer. But there are thousands of Flickerites that have those basic qualities, and frankly...most of them bore me to tears. They lack a certain quality that Lisa has, which keeps me constantly coming back to her photostream for more. She has a killer point of view -- and a keen eye for the silly, absurd, and just plain fun. There's always plenty of smiles to be had looking at her photos. And of course, her tags are legendary -- and worth the price of admission alone. I'm glad there aren't too many people like her on Flickr, otherwise I'd be even more addicted to this site than I already am. She's a true original!

lisa and william are two awesome, understanding people that have a loving look at life and it reveals through their unique photography...
