HAPPY 74th BIRTHDAY DAVID BOWIE
David is such a legend and I have followed his career since watching Ziggy; it's such a huge loss to the world of music not having him around.
My first job was photographing him on his Isolar11 tour for three days at Earls Court for RCA. I was still at Art college & prob didn't appreciate how lucky I was. I always loved Bowie but when you're young you presume the rest of your life will be like this.
I loved the Low & Heroes cold war Berlin days with big influences from Eno & Iggy. I also love the Young American album & Studio 54 Warhol era. Of course Ziggy Stardust is amazing & so many others...!

The shoot was part of a film directed by David Hemmings, another hero of mine (& every photographer) who starred in Antonioni's sixties classic Blow Up; the film remains unfinished. These dates were the end of his European tour and recorded as a live album by Tony Visconti and released as Stage.
Sadly both David's can never be replaced.
