Can anyone identify the source of a photo from MSG 8/7/08?

[DirtyMartini]

I'm trying to track down the source of a photo from MSG 8/7/08 --

http://copelandia.smugmug.com/gallery/5 ... cvJy-XL-LB

Does anyone know who might have taken it? It's a beautiful photo that I would really love to contact the owner to use, but I have no idea where it came from or who uploaded it. (Heck, I may have done so myself and just plumb forgotten.)

The photographer is located near the front of the floor on Andy's side and seems to be behind BABA/very close to where James Gandolfini, Micky Dolenz, and the Copeland family were seated. (There's a theory that Gandolfini himself took the photo, but I'm pretty sure I don't have his email address or flickr account.) The exif data identifies the camera as a Canon PowerShot SD790.

I sent out a few emails to people who might have been seated in the area, but so far I've got nothin', so I'm throwing this out to the world.

Can anyone claim this gorgeous shot?

Thank you!

Thanks to whoever set up the SmugMug site to host all the photos.

I have been super busy, but wow its fun to go back and look through these photos. That was a day i will never forget.

Miss you all

[DirtyMartini]

Good to see you, PDX.


And a hail-Mary-ish bump in the hope of a winner.

DM, I've been assuming that Lynne is one of the people you e-mailed in search of a lead. Her MSG shots locate her in pretty much the same area. I'm just putting it out there in case you haven't asked her about it yet.

[DirtyMartini]

Thanks, llady. I did indeed check with Lynne. I sent out emails to everyone I could remember sitting in that area. I'm still waiting for some responses, but so far, nothin'.

It's such a great photo; I hate to not find its owner.

Perhaps the wife of our Copelandous d'Amour?
I don't know, but the positioning looks about right.

[nancyrose]

Yeah, this IS taken from about where Christine (Mrs. Copelandous d'Amour) was sitting. I remember cuz she filled in the spot Andy would've occupied.

In any case, I hope it's origin can be tracked down...it's a gorgeous shot and not being able to use it would be a shame.

[D-A-O]

I was helping Christine buy a new camera from B&H that weekend and it wasn't an SD790 so if the exif data is right it wasn't her.

Oh.....and that isn't Chris's wife.

[DirtyMartini]

Damn. I'm starting to wonder if James Gandolfini really did take this photo.

So far I've established that of the folks who were located in that area, the photographer is NOT

Charliearnold
MrsCharliearnold
Copelandous D'Amour
Christine
Lynne
IndyGirl
Bella
BABA (obviously)
Susan
Larissa

I don't think I heard back from Maggie or Michael, so maybe I'll bug them one more time -- but I can't seem to remember anyone else it could have been. I tried a few TP.com members, but the ones I thought it might be were seated elsewhere.

Thanks for the trying, folks. I'm at a loss.

Ha. That'd be a hoot if it were one of Stewart's clan. They were sitting two rows in front of Lynne and I.

[D-A-O]

Couldn't have been Maggie either as she was much closer and in front of Andy.

I know because I was supposed to be there too.

Shit.

Anyone got Gandolfini's email?

[conroy]

Or Debbie Harry's for that matter.

[Copelandous D'Amour]

I'm pretty sure Christine didn't take that photo but it is pretty much exactly where she was standing. I'll double check but I think I would remember a cool shot like that... she did get a good shot of one of Stewart's boys with the paper flag. I think she sent it along to you DM.

[Susan]

Has Grace commented on this? She was in our row.
I don't think Michael had his camera.
Also, Lisa and another tp.com member were a few rows behind us. Can't remember if they had cameras.
