I am in need of assistance from someone more media savvy than myself (most anyone)

This will sound completely self absorbed, but I was in the crowd in DC on Saturday and would like to try and find a photo in which I can be seen (to keep as a memento). It shouldn't be that hard except that I was off to the side a little and all the shots showing the reflecting pool seem to have me just a bit out of frame.

For example:











I was right in the front of the crowd, roughly even with the front edge of the reflecting pool and off to the left in the shade of the first tree in that row you see. In the first image, if that little corner of the crowd in that pic was not cut off I would be right there. In the second I am in the shade and can't be seen. That must have been taken early in the morning since I was in full sun by 11:30am.

I am the guy wearing a red baseball cap and a red and white striped shirt. I was holding a banner that was ~8' in the air which should have been very easy to see even from a distance. It is roughly the same size as the red and white CWA banner you see but 4' wide and 2 'tall One side had a blue background with mostly white lettering and the other side, a white background with red lettering and an image of Dr. King.

I did find one on Washingtonpost.com but in that one I am so far away that the tiny blue dot up in the air is the only way to see that it was me (my sign).

I am betting many of the people here are more experienced with this type of thing than I am. If you know of better places for me to search, than the usual search engines, that would be a great help. I was wondering if some of the people more active in social media than I (most everyone here) might know of picture galleries somewhere.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1. You can try contacting the WaPo photogs directly

the AP, Reuters, NYT, Baltimore Sun, AJC, Philadelphia Inquirer, ABC/NBC/CBS, etc...

The journo photog community tends to be pretty tight-knit, so it's worth a shot just e-mailing your local paper photogs, because they will almost certainly know someone who was there or at least steer you in the right direction...

You should also check to see what people have uploaded to flickr.com and other social media sites
