Too much. This I feel is disconnected enough from my life to express but is another jolt all the same. I know I don't share much on here but I've had too much loss and sadness this week to bear. Even though I was lucky enough to see Bowie live, I feel like a part of me that has always been there as a soundtrack is missing. Like a strange reminder yet again how hard it is to let things that give me so much joy go. And how I need to cherish what I do have while it's still here and not take for granted. I suppose I still have his music to help me drift away when whatever the cosmos continues to throw at me becomes too much. But hard all the same.
Someone just told me a great quote that sums up how I feel at this venture. It's like something elemental was lost or an entire color is missing. Thank you all for being kind to me and letting me add some color into your days, as you do mine. Right now I'm black.

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." - David Bowie
And if you listen, if you really stop and listen right now, you can hear two old friends in the distance singing "under pressure" from somewhere.
#RIPDavidBowie
David Bowie 8-1-1947 - 10-1-2016
"Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now"
Rest In Peace David. I'm glad I was part of the journey.
.... Legendary British rock star David Bowie, who framed hits such as "Ziggy Stardust" with daringly androgynous displays of sexuality and glittering costumes, has died aged 69 after a secret battle with cancer. A chameleon and a visionary, Bowie straddled the worlds of hedonistic rock, fashion and drama for five decades, pushing the boundaries of music and his own sanity to produce some of the most innovative songs of his generation .... As a kid in the mid 1970s, I first heard of David Bowie via my brother, Dave & his good friend Stu Heydon. Stu's brother, Stacy Heyden, toured and recorded as lead guitarist & vocalist worldwide with David Bowie's band, from January 1976 to December 1980 .... VIDEO "Space Oddity".... youtu.be/iYYRH4apXDo
The world has lost a legend but his music lives on.
Just had to go up into the loft today and dig out my old vynyl records that have not seen the light of day for about 20+ years now, its all digital now. His music has been part of my life for over 40 years and will continue too be. RIP David.
RIP David.
To craft this, I set up the lighting and camera, quickly painted the lighting bolt onto glass using acrylic paint, tipped it up to about 30 degrees and sprayed it with water. Lit by a single strobe, snooted, high and to the rear. Then I created the montage in Photoshop CC using every second or third frame.
Happy Birthday, David Bowie, who would have been 70 today.

The negative was badly damaged, so had been filed away until I began going through older negatives a few days ago. A crop of about one inch from top and bottom avoids most of the dents and scratches, and perhaps draws more attention to the dense clump of Ipê trees just off centre.

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
