URGENT HELP FOR STEWART - WHO TOOK THESE PICS?

[Dietmar]

yeah, Sabine was next to me
but that's not what you needed, is it ?
I know that I took a photo like this to get the people on the ground floor in the picture
maybe I sent this photo to those people who've been there, like Giovanni (I know that I've seen him there)

Whoops. Sorry folks, didn't know you were still posting since I know you're way busy today. Was just editing my last post.

To wit: I've had a chance to look at four or five other ppl and none of them are Dietmar's vantage point. Here's Beata's post re: not getting her camera in...not trying to be obnoxious, just to save you guys from spinning your wheels looking for stuff that may not be around...

ETA: Meg & Takeshi down front, so wasn't either of them

I can't help here, but congrats to all who made the cut! Hope you find everyone you're looking for, Gio.

IF it's my photo then I have sent a larger version of that photo to people who were in the crowd / the names Dirty Martini mentioned / as she already tries to contact them I'll stop investigating for now...

although that's hard

[Dietmar]

I'll ask Sandy.

[DirtyMartini]

Thanks, DD -- I'm already making us late over here.

D, what's bugging me is why the photo looks familiar to me since I wasn't in the crowd. I'll check my email though. Fingers crossed that it's yours for ease. I just remember looking at that thing in search of flag/Daft/Hannah. (And now I'm obsessing.)


ETA: Wait, no -- I have discs of photos from Dietmar, Takeshi, and Sandy -- so it's entirely likely I saw that photo on one of your discs, D. (Now I really hope it's your photo cuz this is going to make me insane.)

I'm leaving, I swear. Good luck, all!



One more ETA cuz I forgot before:

Here's the Turin shot.

It's from an outfit called Corriere.

http://www.corriere.it/Fotogallery/Tagl ... POL/06.JPG

photographer is Filippo Alfero, from Lapresse. Here's the link to the larger article containing the photo:

http://www.corriere.it/spettacoli/07_ot ... ting.shtml

(to reach it, click on one of the thumbnails featuring SC or Sting...a photo gallery will pop up with this shot as the #6 selection)

ETA: Whoops! On closer examination this isn't the exact shot. But it's the same vantage point and I'd bet my boots the same camera...so I'll keep digging for more from this photog.

[Dietmar]

are we good or are we good ?
or what ?
dietmar

[Dietmar]

eh, not that good
it's not the same photo, just another crowd shot..

[Divemistress of the Dark]

Yeah, but it's pretty clearly the same guy or at least the same press-pool vantage. No way would you get this field of vision using a handheld camera. This is a Nikon or another really good SLR - which we fans were generally not allowed to carry into the venues. (It looks like the same lens and the lighting settings are also the same - photonerd mode off)

I'd pick up the phone & call were I not located on another continent

ETA: While digging I just found a photo some of y'all are gonna love:

I have forwarded an email to Beata just in case she knows,
I was in 5th row to Stewpot's left, Sarah from Tooting was
front and center, Miss Meg was in that neighborhood too ...

Sandy from Chicago

Update: The original Turin photo requested by Gio/Stewart is here:

http://www.lastampa.it/multimedia/cultu ... police.jpg

Page with the photo as part of a multimedia show (it's image #3):

http://www.lastampa.it/multimedia/multi ... LLERY#mpos

Folks whose Italian is better than mine will need to scan for a photo credit...but again, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's Alfero, based on focal length similarities to the other shot known to be his.

hi, I don't know who took that pic. at Wembley MJ was in the front row, left side, so it's not hers too.
