Hi,
Yes, I'm a bit late on this. :)
As one who often "shoots music", a (former) musician and general fan
of music, I just want to tell you how much I like your Bowie-pictures.
There are so many factors involved regarding light metering in
concert lighting, that you should be proud of the results,
particularly on slides of 200 ASA.
How come you caught him in Germany? Were you stationed there in the
military service?
My dad was working on a project between Univac (as they were called in
the early 70's when the project started) and the German Navy. The
work in the 80's was being done up in Wilhelmshaven and my brother and
I were going to an international school in Frankfurt am Main.
You also seem to have got to shoot a few from a comparatively high
angle. Were you able to freely move around?
Absolutely not. We were crammed in the front of a general-admission
floor with waves and waves of crushing force from the thousands of
people behind us. Couldn't move at all for the whole concert - but
Mr. Bowie had the decency to move around a lot... so sometimes he was
in front of me, but mostly he was way off to my right.
It seems to me that quite a few of them may be of interest to some
"Bowie-publicists", I think. Have you thought of contacting any
possibly interested parties?
No, never have thought of doing that. They're "not bad" but I don't
think they're pro-level either. Thanks, though!
