“There’s a Star Man waiting in the sky. He’d like to come and meet us but he thinks he’d blow our mind.” - David Bowie
“I think David trusted me. I regard myself as a guardian of his image and that’s true to this day.” - Mick Rock.
I was there at this concert when this photo was taken and Bowie did blow my mind.
He also did it again when he came into my booth at an art fair I was exhibiting in about ten years ago in New York. He was charming and quiet and asked some of the most intelligent questions I have ever been asked about photography. - Peter Fetterman
