It says you need to sign in for the mosaic thingy MJ.

I've got 2 photos of me with Bob and probably have some of him alone, where shall I send them to? Great idea.

Jules, I just registered, it's free

yeah I think that's a neat idea MJ

I'll try to find some of me and Bob (separate...unfortunately I have none of us together, I've never met him), just tell us all where :)

MJ · Tonight

Yes, Imagestation is a free service, and it's pretty cool too, so you might even want to use it for yourself after you sign up! You can send me your pictures at Geldof_forum (at) hotmail (dot) com.

Jules, I already have the picture you use for your avatar, and also a series of shots with Pete and half naked Vince Let me know which ones you want me to use!

I'd love to see that series too...

Apart from that, I'll see what I can send you MJ. I think your project is a brilliant idea. Very creative, and very community-ish! And I'm sure Bob would like it!

Ok I'll register. You can use whichever photos you wish MJ, I've some more Bob, which aren't that flattering of him, if you want them let me know.

The more pictures the better. The program I use will pick the best fit to create the mosaic, so the more pictures you have in the bank, the more accurate the end picture will look.

Remind where I should be sending them to, and you can have everything I've got. I was sent some other piccies which I'll send too, you mayve them or some of them though.

OK, sent a load and have some more to send tomorrow. I'll search my 'pooter from top to bottom to make sure I have no more too

Is it ok to send just pix I like of BG, even though none of them are 'rightfully' mine? (ie pix collected from the internet)

also, are BTR pix with BG allowed, or just BG by himself (and/or with fans)?

Well, that could be a v. simple question, or a v. complicated one. If you mean do *I* want you to send your favorite pictures, yeah, sure.

If you mean is it legally ok to use them, well... no. Every picture is automatically copyrighted to their owner, and I should get permission for each of them before using them, or even buy them when those pictures are offered for sale. Even screen capture from movies or commercially sold live shows are illegal unless autorized. Problem is, I'm using over 2000 different pictures or screen caps for this project. If I have to get permission for each, forget it. Project is canned.

The reality is, this practice is tolerated as long as you're not making any money out of it. As for the non-commercial pictures found on fan sites, as I said before, if you don't want me to use them, just let me know.

Anything BG related would be great. I don't have many pictures from the Rats era, so it's more likely I don't have them yet.

This is a great idea! I have one or two from the Winnipeg concert in 2003. I also have the one newspaper pic with the Rats "daks" down for the camera! Great picture.

Will send on.

Thanks to the few who have sent me their pictures. However, response have been even more abysmal than I expected, so I don't think I'll go to the trouble of having a poster printed for Bob. I'll give it another few weeks, and I'll send you guy who have participated one or 2 mosaics with your picture in it. The good news is I might even do one of each of your favorite.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

So where are the rest of you? Huh? Wouldn't it be good to think that Bob receives a photo of you? Come on help MJ out here, it's a great idea

MJ · Tonight

One clarification, following a private message I just got. What I would like to have are photos of FANS, not photos of Bob. I got thousands of Bob photos, I don't need more, really. Although more is always good, but I disgress.

The plan is to create a mosaic with pictures of fans. In a perfect world, I would have enough fan pictures to create the mosaic, but since I only have a few, I'll use Bob and BTR pics to complete it. Am I making any sense? Anyways, please send me pictures of yourself if you want to be part of this project. Thanks!
