The Search for My Favorite Green Day Photo

Last November I posted about my favorite Green Day picture of all time but this time I want to talk about it again, and here is a story I want to share.

Between 2007 and 2008 I remember going on Photobucket to look at and save pictures of Green Day and Billie Joe on the computer. One day in '08 I found a small GIF that showed four pictures of Billie Joe, and the fourth picture was this:




I thought he looked so handsome and I wanted to find the full photo of it since it was cropped on the GIF. But unfortunately I didn't have any luck finding the photo. I really wanted it so bad.

In 2012 I made a Twitter account and sometime in 2013 I started looking at Green Day pictures that were posted by the fan accounts. I was hoping they would post that photo but they didn't. I was disappointed but I kept searching for it.

Then in the Spring of 2014 I was looking at the Green Day pictures on Twitter and I came across a tweet from a fan account. The account posted a picture and wrote, "Their eyes..." I opened up the tweet and it showed this photo.




I couldn't believe my eyes. I had found it at last, after six years of searching! I was so happy I actually cried happy tears, and I saved the photo. But later I found a better quality version of this picture on the Green Day Authority website.

In 2017 I made my own calendar on Shutterfly and I added a lot of Green Day pictures on it. For one of the months I added this photo, and when I was done using the calendar I cut it out along with the rest of the pictures and put it in a frame. I would love to have another copy of this photo because I love it so much. <3
