“I said be careful, his bowtie is really a camera”
On the 44th anniversary of the release of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, it seems somehow appropriate to mention an event taking place in Heddon Street, the site of the album’s iconic cover shoot.
There has been a plethora of David Bowie photographic exhibitions since January, and you’ve no doubt heard about them all, including this one: David Bowie: Fame, Fashion, Photography.
However, aside from celebrating the life and career of David Bowie via rare and previously unpublished photographs, the primary objective of BowieFFP is to raise money for Cancer Research UK, by auctioning off all of the beautiful prints on display, kindly donated by the photographers: Chalkie Davies, Tony McGee and Denis O’Regan.
If you’ve not yet managed to get along, you still have until Sunday. But more importantly, you definitely have plenty of time to view the images online and bid in the auction. The online auction will be open for bids until 6.30pm on June 19th. Go here for links.
If you do still want to visit the physical exhibition (and you should if you can), please choose a time slot and book your free tickets here.
*Today’s featured picture was taken by Chalkie Davies in the studio whilst Labyrinth was being filmed, in 1985.
