  • Mick Rock

    FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailOn June 1, 2016, Mick Rock did a signing for the “unlimited” edition of his book, The Rise of David Bowie, at Taschen in New York City, and I went. Of course I got an autographed book, but I also took the opportunity to ask him about the photos of Robin I’ve been theorizing he…

  • More Times Square German press photos, 1982

    FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail       The next German press photo from Schröder-Filmverleih had previously seen publication in Filmstar Vol. 1 No. 3, in Thailand. The Filmstar version shows less of the image at the left, and more of Nicky’s hand on the right, so there must have been a more complete version at some point. It’s…

The first ones I found, I didn’t realize where they had come from, but the UK Press Kit’s caption sheet that matched up with some of the numbers on the photos solved the mystery. Their distinguishing characteristic is a small handwritten…

  • Blast from the Past

    FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail I got this photo at the same time as the Nicky hair and make up test and the preparing-to-shoot-the-excised-scene-of-the-girls-looking-for-Nicky’s-father. Somehow, in my excitement over those two true behind-the-scenes photographs, since there are so very few of those, I lost track of this one. I’d digitized it at the same time, but never prepared the…

  • Three photos from March 1981

    FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI know nothing about these photos, except that they date from March 1981, and that they’re owned by Trinity Mirror and are part of the Daily Mirror Mirrorpix archive. In my opinion, they’re similar in style to photos that were published in Australia and presumably taken during her visit there, leading me to speculate that…
