I keep a photograph, It burns my wall with time…
We are pleased to be able to announce that Slow Dazzle is once again producing the official David Bowie calendar this year and we can exclusively reveal that the theme this time around is 1972 – 1973 Audience Pictures.
Once again the calendar is a twenty eight page, thirteen month beauty (Jan 2010 to Jan 2011) and, as before, it’s approximately the size of a vinyl album.
All of the thirteen pictures used were hand-picked by David from a huge vault of fan photos sent to him over the years.
While the majority of the pictures are snaps, they are nevertheless of a consistently high quality in terms of content and they have all been enhanced using modern techniques.
I had the good fortune to sift through many of them last year and it was great to see Ziggy and The Spiders in their natural setting with lots of stage detail I hadn’t noticed before.
None of the shots are previously published and we’ll be posting each of them over the following month in an attempt to contact the original photographers…stay tuned for more details.
This is the reason we have announced earlier than usual, in case we are unable to use some of the selected shots…but don’t worry, there are many more to choose from yet.
If you have any of your own shots from 1972 -1973 you think would be worth considering, it’s not too late. Get in touch with details but please be sure that you are the original photographer.
Send your information here, preferably with a scan of what you have.
If this calendar proves to be successful, we’ll hopefully continue to publish annually from each of the subsequent tours.
