David Bowie sitting opposite me in a studio in LA, serenading me with one of my Haysi Fantayzee songs Shiny Shiny. We had both worked with Tony Visconti. Tony said that Haysi, Bowie and Marc Bolan were his favourite musicians to work with. David showed me photographs of the paintings he was working on and asked my opinion. We had to shoot two different sessions for two different magazines that day. It was stressful, but David was gentle. He let me string him up with ropes, wrap him in bandages, and stick him in a tube...no problem. I was a fan by the end of the day. He wanted me to photograph Iman. He wanted to come to my crummy LA apartment and do a shoot there. I asked The Face if they were interested in that idea. They said no because Bowie had 'sold out' when he sold his catalogue to investors?!? I guess they wanted him to stay poor, drug addicted...that was their idea of a "real" rockstar!
