Elliott Erwitt died on november 29th at age of 95

of course we all know that one of his photographies was used for the TRD cover

we can see another great photograph, Robert Frank, dancing in his kitchen with his wife Mary


RIP Elliott Erwitt

Dancing in the kitchen (1952)
The photographer Robert Frank and his wife, Mary, on the Spanish coast of Valencia.

My favorite cover. Rest In Peace Elliot Erwitt

One of my favourite New York photographers for sure, RIP to a legend. And he's got some Russian ancestors too...
To be frank, any of his pictures can be an album cover. It's not photos, it's visual poetry of highest standards.
Street, news, war photographers are the greatest at capturing the perfect moments of life.

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / pick just one song from each solo album

« Last post by OklahomaPonies on December 01, 2023, 12:00:05 PM »

long time lurker, first time poster (so I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules posting this here!). we're obviously all big MK fans so I thought it would be interesting to see how similar or how different our tastes are within that.

the rules are simple: pick your favourite song from each MK solo album, and then rank the albums starting with your most favourite. simple, but maybe not easy... studio bonus tracks are allowed, but live bonus tracks are not.

discussion welcomed but please no hating on anyone for their choices, this is just meant to be a bit of light-hearted fun!

I'll start:
GH - Nobody's Got The Gun
STP - Silvertown Blues
TRD - Hill Farmer's Blues
SL - 5:15 am
KTGC - The Fizzy And The Still
GL - Border Reiver
P - Miss You Blues
T - Oklahoma Ponies
DTRW - Trapper Man

Albums: STP, SL, GL, P, TRD, T, DTRW, KTGC, GH

some of my earliest childhood memories are playing STP on repeat on my parents' CD player when I was about 3 years old so it's a very special album to me (:
