MK and DS pictures

Where did the rare mk pics thread go??

It was apparently deleted by the person who started the topic.

Oh I did not understand what happened and though at first it was a techy or legal issue.

To the light of your post I did some little researches and found out that member Pensaboy was the author of that thread but appears now as "banned" with almost all of his posts removed.
Dunno what sad thing happened with him but always a strange feeling seeing a long time and active member going away.

I once heard that he wasn't able to play his Pensa guitar anymore because of some kind of disease... I hope he's doing well.

By the way, as it often happens with threads like this, many links simply would die as time goes by, so I think, to really preserve the pictures, you either need to upload it here on AMIT or on really, really reliable image hosting website. So to me there's nothing wrong with a new topic.

Your pictures are great! 

I am searching this picture in a good quality. Only the picture without this concert stuff.

I would be very happy and grateful if anyone could post it or send it to me.

I never understood why they were using the same Mark Leialoha picture again and again, specially when it was from the last DS days to promote the MK solo career 4 years later...

MK didn't look like in that picture at all in 1996...

I think they photoshopped a 1996 shirt onto his body for authenticity though because he was wearing one with playing cards on the chest for most of '92.  I don't remember that pink/cerise one being worn at all on the OES tour.

It was a long tour, he surely wore many shirts we don't know

A lot of the professional photos are taken at certain shows though and not every concert.  I can recall the Edinburgh show in '96 I attended was professionally shot by photographers.  There was a leaflet on the seat when I entered and it said that if I wanted to purchase any from tonights show it was being photographed.  Never had that before.  I think I sent away for one.  Need to have a look.

Bleeker didn't invent anything, lol

I never saw that in any of the concerts I ever attended, there always were photographers but for press purposes only, even sometimes you see pictures on sale outside other concerts...

19th century sound quality in the 21st century?

Those were the times when German photographer Guido Karp was Mark's tour photographer. He made 50 (or 100?) Photos available from those tours, mostly and naturally shot during one or two German shows. They gave you the illusion the pics were from "your" concert and you got that leaflet where you could set your order. It was first time done so in 1991 and  also that same way during the 2001 tour.

Lovely pictures of the warm-up shows.  Love these shows with nice versions of ToL played.
