To me it's one of the better pictures of modern MK. Absolutely amazing shot I have to say.

I too agree

With older pictures like this from your profile picture ds1984 I'm afraid it would be mission impossible to obtain.

I know that but I have to try.

>Did you check if he has any social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn?

I did but they are over a year without new things on it from him and I am not sure they read it so I try a plan B...

Good luck.

However, sometimes these photographers put their pics at places like alamy, Getty images etc so you can buy prints of the pictures there.

Thank you.

I have checked some of these places.

I am looking for real art print on archival photography paper.

About this pic the most used by the record company is the one whit hand next to the table. BUT a variant has been used for a poster in a french guitar mag and also for tab whit hand near the neck and I am looking for both.

I remember contacting the guy who took this amazing picture and he was kind enough to send me an original file with no charge whatsoever. To me it's one of the better pictures of modern MK. Absolutely amazing shot I have to say. With older pictures like this from your profile picture ds1984 I'm afraid it would be mission impossible to obtain.

Is there anybody out there that can provide me with an active professional contact with Mark Leialoha?

Of course if needed can be done via private message.

I tried to contact him through his official website (http://www.markleialoha.com/main.html) with a photography printing request but got no answer so far, and the website seem not to be updated for years.

For those who wonder who Mark Leialoha is, it is a photograph and the author of my avatar.

Than you in advance.

Did you check if he has any social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn?

In my experience, it's easy to reach them that way. Sometimes is impossible. I was trying to find Myles Palmer for years about translate his book to Spanish but never got to find him.

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: About DS recorded but not released material - A crazy but little stupid idea

Actually, anyone can check that everyday, when Benji or Issy post whatever in their social media, they get too much answers of MK fans saying all type of stupid things. Things like "say HI to your father" or "your father is the best" always amazed me. I always wondered why they don't blocked them.

Is really necessary to behave that way?

He play drums on a heavy rock band, she's an actress. They post on their social media about what they do, and they get answers saying hi to his father. Come on...

It's like when 40 year old men follow Issy Knopfler on Instagram and ask her to say hi to Mark. Ugh ...

Yes 
But i have 18 years old, no 40 

Then you are excused 

He's not. A stupid idea is a stupid idea.

You are a bit rude 

Terry01 spoke about with us BEFORE doing it so we should be smart with him.
We all have stupid idea but that doesn't make us stupid person as long as we manage not doing the stupid thing all the time and not learning from experience and life...

I didn't call him stupid. I said that idea is stupid despite which age you are.

As said before, if someone ask any of us about our father work specially when you were a child or you were not even born, we would say "come on, really?"

I remember some Italian folks asking Guy Fletcher's son outside the rah about his father contribution on the film score of Cal. His face was a poem, he didn't had the faintest idea of what those Italians were talking about, until I say to him: they are asking you about something your father did before you were even born... He smiled at me and say "my God... They didn't notice I wasn't even born in 1983?“

That was something very stupid to be said to him, same if any bother Benji or any other MK relatives specially if they were not even born or too young to just miss their father when on tour.

I'm not calling them stupid. I'm calling stupid to do that.
