Star (VIII), 2012
So, my Stars are all named after the song of the same name on David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. This was taken today, very close to Denmark Street AKA the British Tin Pan Alley, but I’m afraid I don’t know the exact street name.
The man above very generously allowed me to take a couple of shots – I love his leather jacket. But the magic of the look is in the mix of styles and time periods again. I love these fashion time travellers who have come to visit London.

David Bowie week is also being celebrated by Cardinal Guzman. You should also visit Deanne’s Obsolescence Project and David’s Spanish Stroll, where more fantastic Bowie-related posts have been made.

Interesting shaving technique.
Yes, I think it’s great! Very cool.
Fashion time travellers – nice. There’s a series for you:)
🙂 Thanks. Yes! Perhaps time travellers in general…hmm.
What a cool dude, well, it looks like he thinks he is, how did he seem?
He was great – very nice – I agree he is very cool.
And the closest to a self portrait I’ve seen yet! 🙂
Yes, in the curve of the shades – sadly I don’t have that natural arc to my body. 🙂
Haha! 🙂
Looks a bit like Dave Stewart.
My God, yes he does. But cooler.
Dave Stewart…I thought the same thing!
That facial hair must take some time in the morning!

Yes, indeed!
It’s very nice with the blue background. It highlights the guy in some way.
Yes, maybe the cold of the blue makes his skin tone warmer – that’s just a guess, ha ha.
¡Me gusta el retrato!, sigo maravillándome de que la gente te deje fotografiarla así, y a mí sigue dándome verguenza, abrazos
Thanks! Most people are really nice – even if they say no, they are usually polite about it. I only ask people who I think are interesting or stylish, and because of that I think they can see I’m genuine.
I am going to start trying it, though on Saturday I asked a gentleman if it was leaving me and not only I leave myself, if not that I carry very well, putting of different on way, in order that it was photographing it, so I will encourage more from now, embraces
Voy a empezar a intentarlo, aunque el sábado le pedí a un señor si me dejaba y no solo me dejo, si no que se porto muy bien, poniéndose de distintas manera, para que lo fotografiase, así que me animaré más a partir de ahora, abrazos
