Another amazing image from the inauguration, this one a “gigapixel” panorama of such high resolution you can zoom in on the snipers miles away.
You can also find your coworkers.
And my favorite picture of Bush and Cheney ever, both of their personalities perfectly captured. Bush looking churlish and arrogant, Cheney looking every inch the Super Villain.
UPDATE: Here are some details on the making of this image, from the photographer’s blog.
Thanks, Brian
Did Joe Biden’s body double get tickets too?

I think I found Hanks.
Starting with the ‘coworkers,’ look a few rows back and down for a woman in a pink hooded parka, apparently coughing. there is a man, bareheaded, turned partway around, face partially obscured. He is seated next to another bareheaded gent who appears to be of subcontinental Indian ancestry.
and you can’t possibly miss Diddy when you look for him.
Mike, that is not P-diddy. This is what Sean-Puffy-Combs-Puff-Daddy-Puffy-P-Diddy was dressed like while watching

It wasn’t him. But I bet the guy in front of Christophe with the gray beany is the one he referred to in his post that had its poofy-ness adjusted by Tom Hanks
no, I’m serious, I didn’t even look at the “is this Diddy” post until just now (and was astounded by the idiocy, I mean really astounded). Dude I’m talking about is standing in the aisle with a diamond in his ear the size of your first child’s fist. On looking at your link, there’s no doubt it’s him. In fact, the white dot is what drew my eye in the first place.
Here’s how to find him:
find my pink-parka coughing lady. sight down her row until you see the guy pictured in the “is this Diddy” post. now look up the aisle, to the right of the frame, until you see the four standing people. Dude with the blue knit cap is Denzel. right behind him, looking well-tailored indeed as one might expect, Mr. Diddy, diamond stud a-flash.
Mike, you’re right–you found the REAL Diddy. Well-spotted!
haw, i got props! no harm done, CF. I actually thought the comments on your “is this Diddy” post were pretty interesting. I remain amazed that you had no apparent idea of the appearance and personal style of this omnipresent media visage. Diddy has little overlap with the Belle and Sebastian demo, true enough. However, he is most definitely a man with a knowledge and appreciation of fine men’s clothing.
Alright, magic mike … where’s Beyonce and Jay-Z?
Another question, which I also wondered while watching the event on TV: Why was Robert Gibbs stationed up with the string quartet? I noticed him there when it was broadcasting live, and he’s up there during the speech in this photo.
Anyone?
I was just wondering if anyone has seen Chelsey Clinton in this pic? Didn’t she attend???
I should have scoped out the latitude and longitude of my aisle seat in the Orange section – I am wearing a red watch cap and a red scarf and bundled up like a Muscovite – but otherwise indistinguishable from the rest of the lumpen proletariat. With great thanks to Cong. Ed Whitfield (R-KY) for my ticket – my kindly Republican benefactor.
Looking at Aretha Franklin what is up with the floating hat and the guy who is cut off? Is it just me or does it look edited?
If you look to the right of the tower in the middle at the bottom beside a fence there is a pair of legs with no body.
And we can’t find Bid Laden with this technology?
