“Does my face show some kind of glow?”
David Bowie by Myriam Santos-Kayda.
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her book…
Those of you that attended the New York Marathon run of five Bowie shows last year, may have noticed BowieNetter Mask darting around at the front, snapping away with her Brownie. Her privilege was extended offstage to rehearsals before the tour, rehearsals at the venues, backstage preshow and backstage post show, and now she has collected together a record of her incredible experience in a new photo book.
Apart from Mask’s pictures, (whom I shall refer to from here on in as Myriam Santos-Kayda, her little bit posh and professional name, which also happens to be real) there will be a foreword written by David Bowie himself, and Rex Ray will be using his massive talent to design the thing.
This hard cover book (I’ll get to why I’m not using its title in a moment) will contain approximately one hundred and fifty 7.25″ x 9.25″ pages, it will be published by powerHouse this fall and Amy Scholder will edit… So far so good. But one problem remains, in that nobody can agree on a title for the book. This is where you lot come in, and it’s also where five of you also have a chance to win a copy of the book signed by Myriam, Rex and hopefully DB too.
The title of the book has been narrowed to the three listed below. All you have to do is e-mail us by clicking on your preferred choice and include your real name and address. We’ll count up the votes and send out copies to five randomly selected winners as soon as the things are ready. If you need some inspiration while trying to decide on the title, go here to take you to a few more of Myriam’s brilliant shots.
