Another curious promo-pic of John Illsley and David Knopfler, on a pub-scene.
A promo-pic from a BBC-produced Doku about Dire Straits called ARENA-Dire Straits. Stamped, handwritten and typed with promotional-text about the Documentary. Photo was possibly used for publication.
Date: 24. January 1987. Typed date is: 18. March 1980. That could be the date of photography, and the other date belonged to the transmission of the doku.
Photographer: currently unknown to me.

This is from the twisting by the pool videoclip thar never was released but can be seen in the arena documentary.

HI jbaent.
I only have that pic with a left-handed Mark. I do not have a corrected one. I don´t know if a corrected version extists of that pic.

Thanks for your additional information on the Illsely / David Knopfler-pic. Interesting to know.

Just another pic of Mark from the Brothers in arms era. US-Warner-Bros promo-pic from 1985.
But just look a little bit closer to that pic. What´s remarkable here ??

I always wondered how professional photographers ended taking mirrow pictures... How can that happen to them...

Maybe because they care only about aesthetics and the actual appearance is nothing to them. It's like "I like more if he looks to this side", and because the photographer probably knows nothing about music, flipping instruments is OK for him. Another clue might be that Mark himself didn't care how to play for a photoshoot.

Hi Sam, ja ich habe die Pics auch über Jahre hinweggesammelt, auch von verschiedenen Epochen. OES, BIA, LOG, auch NHB habe ich Promo-Pics, Press-Kits aus UK und UK in Mappen.
Ich mag ebenfalls diese Promo-Fotos aus verschiedenen Epochen.
Ich habe den amerikanischen Seller nochmal angeschrieben, ob er noch weitere Infos zu dem Jack Sonni-Yearbook hat. Bin schon richtig darauf gespannt. Wahrscheinlich wird es aber von einem/ einer Klassenkamerad/-in von ihm sein, oder von ihm höchstpersönlich, aber das gilt es noch aufzuklären.

@Klaus: Sam is french, so i suppose he used google translate, lol.
hast du unsere Deutsche Ecke bereits entdeckt?

[Klaus74]

Hi Pottel.
Sorry i didn´t know that Sam is of french nationality.
Yes, i know the German column in this forum, also the Dutch-column, but i cannot speak the dutch language perfectly, so i also used the translator for my Dutch Dire Straits-Fan Avond Photo-Research in the Dutch-column.

Hi Pottel and Klaus... Yes, I'm in France... And my friend is google...
Cheers
