Photographer's Note
I am in the process of digitizing several thousand photographs from the past 30+ years. (A great task for those winter evenings.)
This is a shot of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits from an October 1979 concert at the Uptown Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
It is an in-camera double exposure in which the background was shot from the balcony, audience right and the close-up was shot from the orchestra pit, audience left.
This was shot using a Nikon FM with 50mm f1.4 lens on Ektachrome 400. The image was scanned using a PrimeFilm 3650u scanner.
While I don't have a photographic memory (no pun intended), I would estimate that both exposures were about 1/60 sec.

A nice double exposure, where the singer is just in the empty space of the other picture. This is when Dire Straits were at the top, according to my opinion. A fresh new input in the music landscape of that time. Then when they added keyboards they lost some of the freshness and originality of the first two albums.

jeez, amrk looks so young! *g* cool double exposure - how did you do it? took the one in front and then walked up to the balcony?
unfortunately 1979 was before my "dire straits-time", so i only saw them in 1992, but i have to admit,
the "old" songs are the best. great job & take care, thor.
