bradelterman:

HELP!! Back in 1975 I cut school to take photos of David Bowie as he walked out of Cherokee Recording Studios. I only took a few photos, all in color slides. I borrowed the camera from my brother. The few original slides were sent to my favorite magazines in the US, Europe and Japan. Sadly, there were no means to scan and preserve the slides back then so I never had a a duplicate file and the slides were never rarely returned to me. No one know that in over 30 years that anyone would care about that early morning on Fairfax Ave when teenage me took this photograph. All of the magazines who I worked with are now all long gone, but I remain and so does Bowie. Someone out there has this slide and I am willing to offer a finders fee for its return. I need to make a proper drum scan to insure that this Bowie image is archived for eternity. You know how to reach me.

What goes around, comes around, and what goes around more than the André Werner (not to mention his brainchildren: films as vivd headbirths and the perfect forum to view other such ventures, the cult-fixation Directors Lounge)? And so his day has come around again, and we join in wishing the tireless idea-factory and all-around cool guy his greatest birthday yet, and know you join in doing the same! Hats off to The Man In The Hat!

I feel that cinema should be like a box of surprises, like a magic box. And in that world, anything is allowed to enter, as long as it’s always treated with a spirit of “Pop!”. ..I think cinema should be like magic, a surprise, that’s all.
