After a 2 year "sabbatical," Dottie's decided to start painting again!! 
You know how Bono used to hug an American flag during some point in the show during the 3rd (I'm guessing) leg of the Elevation tour? I'm DYING to paint that.
...But I want to make sure I get the right angle. So I need to collect as MANY different shots of it as possible. If I don't find one that I feel is exactly what I want, I may have to paint a composite of a few different ones....But I dun wanna do that. It's hard. <g>
So I've got 2 already...can't upload to my website right now, but the filenames are "U2Hamilton03.jpg," and "oldmanwithaflagcrying.jpg."
The hamilton one is a straight on shot, from about his hips up. The "oldman..." one was taken from a lower angle and to the side a bit. In the background you can see the flag up on one of the screens (and if you look closely, you can see a hand doing the peace sign up on the screen too...I just noticed that!)....I actually kind of like that, but I am not sure if I even want a background in the painting. But I dunno, I'm still open.
So if y'all could do me a HUGE favor and try and help me find as many shots of this as possible, and post them up here in this thread. This would be such a big help, guys...
And if you come across any that are high resolution, that would be awesome...that way I'll be able to make a really detailed painting. Those should be emailed to me. Fumbler1013@aol.com
