Need help finding photos/videos from Saturday's Event.

I am referring to the Rally at the Lincoln Memorial. I did all the basic Google/Yahoo/Bing searches without any luck.

This will sound completely self absorbed, but I was in the crowd 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:



?w=594




This is as close as any photo I have found gets. 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. If that little corner of the crowd in that pic was not cut off I would be right there. 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 and that 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 am betting some of the people here are more experienced with this type of thing than I am. Any and all help would be appreciated. If you know of better places for me to search, than the usual search engines, that would be a great help also.

Sorry for edits, just got back and still kinda lagged. DOH!


One more edit to add.. this one is close too. Maybe I am just in the shade and can't be seen. This image would have been taken early in the day. by 11:30am I was in full sun.
