Hello everyone. Long time me no here.
Well, I got it in the neck pretty bad from Craig when he was over here, telling me to post more pics. I kinda feel a bit bad just coming on and posting when I haven't been active at all but I thought I'd share some of the shots I took whilst in Marrakesh last week.
Thanks for looking and I promise to be more active here. I miss this place.
Matt

Excellent portraits buddy - these are your true draconian style images...good stuff. Don't be a stranger!

It's not just you Bindii, I'm having the same issues. All those options haven't worked for me either.

Bill

I wonder if its the server that Matt is using...? I have problems viewing nearly all the photos from a member on another forum who uploads his shot to one of the more unusual places before posting... ie not photobucket etc?
I so hate missing out... *sulks*

one option: right click on the little square with the cross and go to "Properties". Cut and paste the url into a new window and you can see the photo.
Cheers
By the way, fantastic portraits.

Thanks Alpha7 - I too was feeling left out!
Rokkstar - some fascinating characters in that series! I particularly like the first shot.

Beautiful portraits. The lighting in No.1 and last (as reposted by Craig) is stunning!

#3 I think needs some work, as I think the dodging and burning is a little rushed in this shot as he has a unusally bright bit on his shirt.

Nice to see some photos Matt
I also can't see the photos from Matt's links. It is an on-going problem with pbase, same issues that we see with MattK's photos at times
BTW. (TQ Craig for put the links)
Love the first two and the rapport you seemed to have built with your subjects, makes a big difference.
Cheers,
André

Firstly - welcome back, what kept you.
For me #3 is better than #1 by a whisker for content but not PP if that makes sense. #1 is a fully realised work with that great glow your "rokkstar" patented PP treatment gives the shot whereas the treatment in #3 is patchy and needs more work but I suspect if you do so it will be better than #1 - hope that makes sense. Oh and crop the top of #3
#2 is the weakest for me and the OOF at the bottom is a little distracting
Bring on the rest.
