Beautiful light! Almost abstract in composition, and lovely textures.
Mike Oxley replied
Thanks so very much, Nancy. Lighting courtesy of the plain old kitchen ceiling light. Shhhh – don’t tell anyone….:o)

Nice. I should ship you my Ibanez 12 string for a portrait.
Mike Oxley replied
Thanks, Brock. It would probably be much cheaper if I sold you the secret of “How I Dunnit”. Plus, if the Ibanez is a nice one, which I don’t doubt, it might get “lost in the post”.......
Brock Hunter
too late – you gave away your secret in your reply to Nancy.
Mike Oxley replied
Okay, okay. But I’m not going to tell you that I used a piece of black velvet as a background or that it was on the kitchen countertop. That will cost you.
Brock Hunter
I’ll start saving up

Hi Mike – MK music making machine ….......... I have never heard one of these play but have seen a few ….... love the crown knobs on this … is that down to your own touch? – David
Mike Oxley replied
Thanks, David. The guitar is all original. Fell in love with it the minute I took it out of its box. Absolutely screams when I push it through my old Peavy tube amp.

I can hear it talking from here thro’ those old tubes!
