Caption This Picture!

Brooklyn hipsters enjoying a sunny morning, fall 2001.

Not since the Mona Lisa has a portrait invoked so much speculation as to what its subject is (or subjects are) thinking. This is the (in) famous "taboo" 9/11 photo taken by Thomas Hoepker, who was so "shocked" by it that he refused to publish it for 4 years.

Is anyone surprised? It's freaking Brooklyn, for Chrissakes, the capital of irony. Hipsters get ironic haircuts, eat ironic foods, listen to 80s metal ironically, send ironic Christmas cards...so it would make sense that such ironic enjoyment of this bright fall day would come from the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

But what could they be talking about?

Fashion Week celebrity sightings?

Trading farfetched Chandra Levy conspiracy theories ?

"Dude, I guess we're no longer in the 'Post Cold-War' Era."

"Yeah, man, are the New York Jets gonna, like, change their name?"

"Are they going to cancel fashion week for this"?

You decide.
