I just thought it'll be nice to see what everyone's favorite picture of MK is. By the way, how do I add images ?
Thanks,

Hi Sweetsurrender.
To add an image to a post you have to open the "Additional Options..." section which is just below the box you are typing your post in. There you will see Attach: with a box then a browse button to select your picture. The following text gives the limits re size and number of photos also:-
Allowed file types: doc, gif, jpg, mp3, pdf, png, txt, zip
Maximum attachment size allowed: 128 KB, per post: 4
Hope this helps

PS - you are also able to use your favorite picture as an avatar on all your posts. Again size limitations apply. If it is too big the software will reject it, and you will need to go to MS paint or similar to reduce the size and the re-save the photo.
It can then be uploaded to your profile, by clicking on "Profile" at the top of the page, then open "Forum profile information" and then follow the same process as above to add the picture to your avatar.

Any picture of him holding his beautiful Les Paul..I love that guitar...if I hit the lottery I will buy one....I do not have a Les Paul as of yet.

Ditto, hence my avatar!!

I like the one in my avatar because I took it.
I also like the one of him on his knees in Chicago '85 (Poplar Creek) because he waved at me with his fingers still up to his forehead just about 2 seconds after the picture was taken. Still the highlight of my life.
-
A memory worthy of being at the very top of the list, knopfling!! Lucky girl!! ;D
-
Knopfling,
I always like that picture too. I didn't realize that you were the one who took it. Lucky you!! My favorite one is the black and white one taken believed in 79 of Mk leaning back with his guitar taken by Sean Hennessy. Tried to copy the image , but somehow I couldn't do it. I found that picture at Photbucket.com
-
I like that one too, SS. Actually I dont' have too many pics of him that I DON'T like!! I'd like to put up a few I took at Berkeley this year but I'm too stupid to figure out how to reduce the sizes. If my geek ever comes to fix my comp, I'll get him to show me how.

SweetSurrender -- I took the picture in my avatar.
The picture of Mark on his knees at Chicago '85 was taken by a professional photographer, Paul Natkin of PhotoReserve. I used to work for a magazine that bought a number of his pictures for publication, and I recognized him in the audience taking pictures at the Poplar Creek venue in '85. That's how I know that picture was taken just seconds before MK waved at me. I was over to MK's right just a bit. It was taken during the opening of "Solid Rock," when MK wasn't playing and had a chance to look into the audience. The picture was part of an article in one of the guitar magazines about MK's many axes.
-
I love that picture, too. I think of it as one of the most 'famous' photos of him. How cool that he waved at you, knopfling. I saw the video where he did that -- moved his fingers at someone -- now I know it was you! It would be the highlight of my life, too. After the birth of my children, that is. ;D
-
Joanzimm -- I didn't know there was a video of that!
How did you get it?
-
Knopfling, OMG, it probably wasn't that concert at all :-[ Maybe he did that sliding onto his knees thing in other concerts and waved with his fingers because I know I saw a video of that somewhere. When (if) I figure it out, I'll let you know. Sorry to give you heart palpitations. ???
-
He did the sliding on his knees and the finger thing in Alchemy at the end of TOL. :)
-
Thanks, Val. I'm sure Alchemy is where I saw the knee slide. I just watched it recently -- I love those red sneakers and red jacket ;D
-
Oh, well. It would have been nice if my moment with MK was really immortalized on video. I'll just have to settle for that famous still picture instead. I know that one was taken at my concert because, as I mentioned, I recognized the photographer before the concert even started and know where he was sitting.
MK was looking up into the audience of 27,000, most sitting on the grass above the pavilion. I was 5th-row center. For some reason, I was the only one standing at that moment in the area. I began waving my arm from one side to the other, and it caught MK's attention. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled. He waved with his fingers. I waved. He smiled again, and I smiled again. Just a few seconds, but a great thing for me.

Hey miss Jacki, you are not stupid!! ........Somebody just didn't tell you! ;D A long time ago I got from one of the fans of Mark a link to VSO Image resizer and I download that little program to my computer and it works great! It is easy to use and that is what I need too! ;D

Oooohhhhhh this sounds soooo romantic! ......Next time I think I need to do something too, to get his attention.............but what?? ::)

This is an attempt to attach a photo ???-- There are so many great photos of MK out there. I could never pick a favorite. Just like it would be impossible for me to pick a favorite song.
Yay, it worked!
-
Joan, congratulations on getting the picture to show up. That is a good picture! I like it.
One of my other favorites is MK at Montserrat with the dog from the BIA tour book. Gayle uses it as an avatar on one of the other forums.
-
FIENEKE -- tell me about the image re-sizer. How do you get it and use it?
-
... Only 1 person posted a picture???? come on, peopleeeee :)
BellaDonna.
-
I like the picture you use as avatar BellaDonna..........beautiful eyes there!
Just like many people there are a lot of pictures I like, but .......the one I post is great. Mark in suit (I like it when men are dressed in suit, although hubby even hasn't one, only when we married uuuhhhh loooooong ago! ;D)
If I am right then this picture was taken at a charity when Mark gave this blue guitar to a 9 year old boy who had cancer.

Knopfling, just go to google and push VSO Image Resizer. It is a small thing to download. If you use it, you get a little screen and can change the size. ;)
I think, just like me, you have photobucket also? If so, then there you can use a smaller size also before you upload. I forgot it when I posted the picture above and see it perhaps is too large now, but will change tomorrow, I don't have time now anymore. :(

Nice one, Fieneke :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks Fieneke, will have to try the Photobucket resizer. And the other one.
-
Fieneke, that's one of my favourite pics!!! MK is one of the few men who can make a bow tie look good!! (Sorry, guys, my opinion only I'm sure, but I think bow ties are the geekiest looking things!)

-
Get it? 'Suits' him? :D Sorry!

Does anyone think that MK looks a bit like alex ferguson ::) ::) - oh God I hate to say it!
I'm not the biggest fan of Mr Ferguson (ok Dusty I know he's one of yours) coz I'm a Liverpool FC fan 8)&&&&&&& we dont like the crowd a few miles up the road :P :P
For all our US knopflerados Mr Fergie is the manger of Manchester United which is a small club near Bolton in the UK ::) ::) ::)
Oh,I can hear the fingers banging on the keyboard already :P :P
-
WM - NOOOOOOOO!! Not one little bit! ::) MK is much more handsome than AF and he doesn't chew gum all the time, not that I've noticed anyway! AF looks as though he wears a toupee (I'm sure he doesn't) and they are a BIG turn-off, but MK looks just perfect as he is without fussing and worrying about his hair or how he looks! BTW I'm glad you are a Liverpool supporter, (being a Liverpudlian myself) and not an Evertonian! ;D
-
WM, I don't see any resemblance. He has zero sex appeal. ???
-
Nice one Val - aaawlllllllrite mate ;) ;)
We bought the lad from sunny Spain,he gets the ball he scores again "Fernando Torres" Liverpool number 9! C'mon the pool. :P :P
-
WM, I don't see any resemblance. He has zero sex appeal. ???
He dont float my boat either but I dunno he looks a small bit like him at times in between the 2 packs of wrigleys chewing gum :o Maybe its because his team are "dire" at the moment :P

I love the Love Over Gold Tour, maybe one of my favourite recordings
and i found a picture in an old magazine, in 1983-84 ( a french magazine), made in a poster.
I used it for the arwork of LIVEAT THE WEMBLEY ARENA 82 (december, 18th). Thanks Marie for the recording!
