help me find a photo of barack obama looking like a rock star from nytimes.com this morning!
i saw this photo a few hours ago on the front page of nytimes.com (circa 11a pst?) and now i'm obsessed with finding it again. i feel like i've searched the whole nytimes.com website. i'm not sure what article it went with or who took it or anything .
the photo is an action shot of obama speaking on stage, it's dark but you can make out empty red chairs behind him (like a stadium). he is outlined in light, glowing really, and the photo has caught him mid sentence, there is a spray of sweat around his face. i saw it and thought: this man will be president.
and now of course, they've changed the photo on the front page and i can't find it anywhere. help?

Not what you're looking for, but when I saw it this morning, it reminded me of this thread. Here.

Thanks Ziggurat for pointing out the photographer & article.
HotPatatta, I'd try e-mailing Damon Winter, but obviously it won't be cheap. :(
And lastly, I just recently came across a Thomas Dworzak photo of Obama that I thought was pretty "rockstar" (search NYC71978 at the Magnum Photos site if the link doesn't work).
