We received comments in response to photographer Amy Sacka’s photo essay showing lovers on Belle Isle.
Aww I got engaged there. Me and my hubby have been married 19 years! Good place to be in love. —Kristian Garrison, Facebook
Who hasn’t fallen a little bit more in love on Belle Isle. —Erin Marquis, Facebook
Beautiful. Philip Levine would be proud. Great piece. —@daniellockhar, Instagram Thank you so much for celebrating this remarkable Detroit photographer! Amy Sacka has been celebrating our city for years now, not just the “special” but the ordinary of our city and its people. She holds up a mirror so that we see the best of ourselves. —@patricialaydorsey, Instagram
Thank you Metro Times for publishing this piece. We need more love and light. At least I think so. —@amysacka, Instagram
Inspired to make my own photo essay now. It’s gonna be the complete opposite tho. People at home, alone laying on the couch with a bag of chips. —@scotteberline, Instagram
